- 指出异构系统下漏洞与网络威胁加剧
- 适合关注工业AI安全的研究者与工程师
现代AI正迅速将传统工业系统转变为由人工智能驱动的大型智能、潜在无人化运营环境。这些系统依赖机器学习、强化学习和生成式AI,在工业物联网(IIoT)和边缘-雾-云计算连续体的支持下实现实时决策。尽管智能系统显著提升了预测性维护、性能优化和流程效率,但大规模部署也带来严重隐患:异构IIoT环境下难以预见的互操作性副作用及更高的网络攻击风险。本文聚焦工业智能化的安全影响,分析从传统AI到生成式AI在软件层,以及从IIoT到边缘-云架构在基础设施层引发的漏洞、威胁与意外后果。随着工业持续智能化,识别并应对这些负面效应,是保障智能工业系统可持续发展的关键。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The fast pace of modern AI is rapidly transforming traditional industrial systems into vast, intelligent and potentially unmanned autonomous operational environments driven by AI-based solutions. These solutions leverage various forms of machine learning, reinforcement learning, and generative AI. The introduction of such smart capabilities has pushed the envelope in multiple industrial domains, enabling predictive maintenance, optimized performance, and streamlined workflows. These solutions are often deployed across the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and supported by the Edge-Fog-Cloud computing continuum to enable urgent (i.e., real-time or near real-time) decision-making. Despite the current trend of aggressively adopting these smart industrial solutions to increase profit, quality, and efficiency, large-scale integration and deployment also bring serious hazards that if ignored can undermine the benefits of smart industries. These hazards include unforeseen interoperability side-effects and heightened vulnerability to cyber threats, particularly in environments operating with a plethora of heterogeneous IIoT systems. The goal of this study is to shed light on the potential consequences of industrial smartness, with a particular focus on security implications, including vulnerabilities, side effects, and cyber threats. We distinguish software-level downsides stemming from both traditional AI solutions and generative AI from those originating in the infrastructure layer, namely IIoT and the Edge-Cloud continuum. At each level, we investigate potential vulnerabilities, cyber threats, and unintended side effects. As industries continue to become smarter, understanding and addressing these downsides will be crucial to ensure secure and sustainable development of smart industrial systems.
