AI security research studies how AI and machine-learning systems can be attacked and defended — covering adversarial examples, prompt injection, model poisoning, training-data extraction, and the mitigations against them. AI Threat Alert curates this research from academic sources so security teams can track the threats behind emerging AI risks.
AI Threat Alert indexes 4,319+ papers on AI/ML security, classified across attack, defense, benchmark, survey, and tool categories and updated continuously.
Papers are sourced from arXiv, then classified by type and by relevance to real-world AI/ML threats, and cross-referenced with the CVEs and incidents they relate to.
Coverage spans adversarial attacks, model and system defenses, red-teaming benchmarks, literature surveys, and security tooling for LLMs, ML libraries, AI agents, and inference pipelines.
Every paper is filtered for AI security relevance and linked to the vulnerabilities, vendors, and incidents it relates to, so the research connects directly to operational threat intelligence.
Get breaking CVE alerts, compliance reports (ISO 42001, EU AI Act), and CISO risk assessments for your AI/ML stack.
