AI can detect malicious chip vulnerabilities with a 97% success rate - but will that be enough?

AI.

• Hardware trojans threaten the global chip industry from deep within supply chains
• Even 97% accuracy leaves room for devastating vulnerabilities in production chips
• Detecting hidden threats before deployment remains a critical engineering challenge

AI is increasingly being used to detect hidden threats in computer chips, with researchers at the University of Missouri claiming their new method achieves a 97% success rate in identifying hardware trojans.
