Security-First AI: Foundations for Robust and Trustworthy Systems

The conversation around artificial intelligence AI often focuses on safety, transparency, accountability, alignment, and responsibility. However, AI security i.e., the safeguarding of data, models, and pipelines from adversarial manipulation underpins all of these efforts. This manuscript posits...

Naming Is Framing: How Cybersecurity'S Language Problems Are Repeating in AI Governance

Language is not neutral; it frames understanding, structures power, and shapes governance. This paper argues that misnomers like cybersecurity and artificial intelligence AI are more than semantic quirks; they carry significant governance risks by obscuring human agency, inflating expectations, a...
