OWASP Launches AI Testing Guide to Uncover Vulnerabilities in AI Systems

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes a cornerstone of modern industry, the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) has announced the release of its AI Testing Guide—a comprehensive framework designed to help organizations identify and mitigate vulnerabilities unique to AI systems.

This initiative addresses the growing need for specialized security, privacy, and ethical testing as AI technologies underpin critical operations in sectors ranging from healthcare and finance to automotive and cybersecurity.

A New Reference for AI Security

While OWASP is renowned for its Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) and Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG), the AI Testing Guide is tailored to the distinct risks of AI applications.

Unlike traditional software, AI systems exhibit non-deterministic behavior, rely heavily on data quality, and face threats such as adversarial attacks, data leakage, and model poisoning.

The new guide draws on established OWASP methodologies but is technology- and industry-agnostic ...
