Generative AI and Synthetic Threats - 695.739

This course covers advanced topics on generative AI and cybersecurity, focusing on AI-based synthetic threats such as disinformation, deepfakes, and social engineering attacks. Through this course, students will learn the fundamentals of genAI-based attack vectors and explore various AI models (text-to text, text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, etc.) Students will use state-of-the-art tools for defending against genAI-based synthetic threats and gains hands-on experience through lab assignments. Finally, students will deep dive into the world of genAI-based synthetic threats by developing their own research project to address a real-world need.
