Enhancing Adversarial Robustness in AI Systems: A Novel Defense Mechanism Using Stable Diffusion
Shantanu Sudhir Gujar
Abstract
Recent advancements in adversarial machine learning underscore the need for robust defenses against sophisticated attacks that compromise AI systems’ reliability. Existing frameworks, such as AI Guardian, offer valuable defenses but often rely on assumptions that can limit their effectiveness, such as incorporating adversarial examples into training data and expecting attacks to be directional. This paper introduces an innovative approach to adversarial defense that diverges from traditional methods by proposing a defense strategy based on stable diffusion[1], [2]. Our method avoids training with adversarial examples and instead leverages continuous learning and comprehensive threat modeling to build inherently resilient AI systems. By addressing the limitations of existing defenses and emphasizing a dynamic, adaptive strategy, our approach aims to provide a more generalized and robust solution to adversarial threats. We present the theoretical underpinnings, experimental design, and anticipated benefits of our approach, with a focus on enhancing AI security and adaptability against unpredictable adversarial attacks[3], [4].
