• The ML pipeline: data → features → model → evaluation.
• Real-world case studies (Netflix, Amazon, fraud detection).
• Cybersecurity applications (intrusion detection, anomaly detection).

 1. What is Machine Learning?

Definition (Arthur Samuel, 1959):

Machine Learning is the field of study that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.

Example:

• Traditional code → If “amount > $10,000” then “flag transaction”.
• ML → Trained on millions of past transactions, it learns fraud patterns beyond human rules.

 2. Categories of ML

2.1 Supervised Learning

• Trained with labeled data.
• Input → Output mapping.
• Examples:
  • Spam filter (Email → Spam/Not Spam).
  • Credit scoring (Features → Loan Approved/Denied).

Math Insight:

Supervised learning minimizes a loss function:L(y,y^)=1n∑i=1n(yi−y^i)2L(y,y^)=n1i=1∑n(yi−y^i)2

2.2 Unsupervised Learning

• No labels.
• Finds hidden patterns.
• Examples:
  • Customer segmentation.
  • Market basket analysis.

2.3 Reinforcement Learning (RL)

• Agent interacts with environment.
• Learns via rewards & penalties.
• Example: AlphaGo beating Lee Sedol by learning Go strategies.

Equation (Bellman):Q(s,a)=R(s,a)+γmax⁡a′Q(s′,a′)Q(s,a)=R(s,a)+γa′maxQ(s′,a′)

 3. Core ML Algorithms (with Real-World Examples)

3.1 Linear Regression

• Predicts continuous value.
• Example: Predict house price from size, location.
• Equation:

y=β0+β1x1+β2x2+⋯+ϵy=β0+β1x1+β2x2+⋯+ϵ

3.2 Logistic Regression

• Predicts probability (binary classification).
• Example: Predict if transaction is fraud (Yes/No).
• Equation:

P(y=1∣x)=11+e−(β0+β1x)P(y=1∣x)=1+e−(β0+β1x)1

3.3 Decision Trees & Random Forests

• If-Else structure → interpretable.
• Random Forest = multiple trees → robust results.
• Example: Amazon product recommendation.

3.4 Support Vector Machines (SVMs)

• Finds optimal boundary between classes.
• Example: Classifying cancer cells as malignant vs benign.

3.5 Neural Networks (Shallow ML)

• Basis for deep learning.
• Example: Stock price prediction with multiple input signals.

 4. The ML Pipeline

• Learning rate (α) too high → overshoot.
• Too low → slow convergence.

Example: Training a spam classifier → each step adjusts weights until misclassification minimized.

 7. ML in Cybersecurity

Module 10: AI Risks & Governance

CyberDudeBivash Crash Course — Managing the Risks of Artificial Intelligence

 Introduction

AI brings unprecedented power — but also unprecedented risks. From biased hiring algorithms to AI-generated deepfakes influencing elections, the technology must be governed responsibly.This module explores:

• Risks (bias, privacy, security, adversarial ML).
• AI regulations (EU AI Act, US Executive Orders, India’s DPDP).
• Governance frameworks for enterprises.
• CyberDudeBivash recommendations for secure AI adoption.

 1. Key AI Risks

1.1 Bias & Fairness

• AI inherits bias from data.
• Example: A CV filter unfairly rejecting women/minority applicants.
• Risk: discrimination lawsuits, reputational damage.

1.2 Privacy & Surveillance

• LLMs trained on personal data → privacy leaks.
• Risk: GDPR & DPDP non-compliance fines.

1.3 Adversarial Machine Learning

• Attackers manipulate AI with small perturbations.
• Example: Adding stickers to a stop sign → self-driving car ignores it.

1.4 Security & Weaponization

• AI-generated phishing, ransomware, autonomous weapons.
• Example: AI-powered spear phishing by UNC groups.

1.5 Economic Risks

• Job displacement in HR, legal, customer service.
• Risk: social unrest, regulatory backlash.

 2. AI Governance Landscape

EU AI Act (2024)

• First global AI regulation.
• Classifies AI into Unacceptable, High-risk, Limited-risk, Minimal-risk.
• Strict requirements for transparency & safety.

US Executive Order on AI (2023)

• Focus on safety, innovation, national security.
• Introduced NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

India’s DPDP Act (2023)
