In 2024, everyone is talking about AI. What can or can't be possible with AI? What are the threats and opportunities of AI? In the automotive industry, there is a huge focus on the impact of AI on cyber security - there is a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding AI. 

Automotive IQ spoke with Danil Prokhorov at Toyota Motor R & D, North America to hear more on these concerns, how the industry is getting around them and to get a better understanding of the possibilities of artificial intelligence in the automotive industry.

In this interview, Danil begins by giving an overview of AI in the automotive industry, and answers the following questions:

• What is and is not possible with AI in the automotive sector?
• How has AI security evolved in recent times? With highlighted specific developments.
• What are the primary security concerns that professionals in the automotive industry have regarding AI implementation?
• How do security and privacy issues manifest when AI is incorporated into automotive technologies?
• What are the other pitfalls of AI?

AI currently has a sweeping influence across all industries globally, dominating production, development and security. But how does AI impact automotive cyber security?

As vehicles become increasingly connected and autonomous, the need for robust Cyber Security measures is more critical than ever before. This article explores the transformative impact of AI on automotive Cyber Security. Dr. Sheikh Mahbub Habib at Continental shares key insights on AI-enabled attacks, Cyber Security solutions, and how automation enhances efficiency in safeguarding vehicles and the automotive ecosystem.

Topics covered: 

• Understanding the impact of AI on cyber security
• Automating tasks and enhancing efficiency
• Protecting against threats and vulnerabilities
• Understanding the risks associated with AI-based products
• Ensuring supply chain security and managing relationships

Auto IQ speaks to Cosimo Senni Guidotti Magnani, Connected Vehicle Cyber Security Senior Manager at a leading European Tier-1 company, who discusses attacks that can be or have been made, the journey to preventing them and the risks and solutions in doing so.

Cosimo was part of the Cyber Security Awareness and Culture panel discussion at Automotive Cyber Security Europe 2022, as well as another discussion on dealing with cyber security in a practical and systematic way as the regulations come into force. 

Ahead of the Automotive Cyber Security Executive Exchange conference, Automotive IQ interviewed Dr. Markus Tschersich, Head of Security & Privacy Research & Governance at Continental. In this interview, Markus discusses the industry’s greatest challenges and most pressing issues in automotive cyber security, solutions through collaboration, and the evolution of cyber security management systems.

In a previous interview last year, Markus told Automotive IQ that there are still big uncertainties on the expectations of organisations when it comes to Cyber Security Management Systems, with further confusions caused by different interpretations of the UN regulation No. 155 and ISO/SAE 21434.
