With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the security of AI chips, as the core driving force of AI technology, has attracted increasing attention. From data security, model security, hardware security, policy supervision, and emerging security physical mechanisms, AI chip security is becoming a complex and multi-dimensional issue.
Data security: the cornerstone of AI chip applications
In the process of the widespread application of AI technology, data security is the primary consideration. Large amounts of sensitive data are used for training and learning, and if leaked or tampered with, it can not only cause huge losses to businesses and individuals, but also seriously damage the public's trust in AI technology. Therefore, protecting data security has become a key part of the design and application of AI chips. Technical means such as data encryption, access control, and data backup and recovery are being widely used in AI chips to ensure the security of data during transmission, storage, and processing.
Model security: A line of defense against malicious attacks
The security of AI models should not be overlooked. Malicious attackers may manipulate the output of the AI system by injecting harmful data or tampering with model parameters, thereby committing financial fraud, personal privacy leakage, and other illegal acts. In order to ensure model security, AI chips need to have functions such as model encryption, model watermarking, and model auditing. These functions can effectively prevent the model from being illegally copied, tampered with, or abused, and ensure that the output of the AI system is authentic and reliable.
Hardware security: Build a solid defensive fortress
As the core component of the AI system, the hardware security of the AI chip is directly related to the stable operation of the entire system. From chip design, manufacturing to use, every link needs to be strictly controlled to prevent potential security vulnerabilities and hidden dangers. Chip design security requires the use of safe design concepts and methods to ensure the stability and security of the internal structure of the chip; Chip manufacturing safety requires strict control of the manufacturing process and quality to prevent defects and loopholes in the manufacturing process; To ensure the security of chip use, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and management of chips to prevent malicious attackers from exploiting chip vulnerabilities.

Policy supervision: escort the security of AI chips
With the widespread application of AI technology, governments around the world have introduced relevant policies to regulate the development and application of AI technology. These policies not only focus on the innovation and development of AI technology, but also pay more attention to the safety and reliability of AI technology. In terms of policy supervision, governments around the world are establishing a sound system of laws and regulations, clarifying the scope and limitations of the use of AI technology, and strengthening the supervision and evaluation of AI technology. These policies and measures provide a strong legal guarantee for the safe development of AI chips.
Security Physics: Exploring New Paths for Future Governance
In order to further improve the security of AI chips, the New American Security Center proposed the concept of "on-chip governance mechanism". This is a secure physical mechanism that can be built directly into the chip or related hardware, and is designed to physically manage and control the training and deployment process of AI models. This mechanism will not only help ensure the security and reliability of AI systems, but also provide a reference for future international agreements and policy formulation.
Low-code development platform: Helping the secure development of AI chips
In addition, low-code development platforms also play an active role in AI chip security. By providing a reliable component library and a visual development method, the low-code development platform can lower the threshold and risk of AI technology development, and improve development efficiency and security. This allows the technical team to focus more on the optimization and innovation of AI algorithms, rather than spending a lot of time and energy on dealing with potential security issues.
