Marin Ivezic

Marin Ivezic For over 30 years, I have been safeguarding lives, well-being, the environment, and businesses by integrating cybersecurity, cyber-physical systems security, operational resilience, and functional safety approaches. I have held multiple CTO, CISO, and emerging technology leadership roles.

I have spent a large part of my career researching the risks associated with emerging technologies. I built and operated research labs dedicated to AI security, post-quantum security, 5G security, and other cutting-edge areas.

I believe that Society 5.0 can only fulfill its promise if all essential technologies are safe, secure, and controllable.

This is my personal website. It serves as a central repository for all my writings, which I have previously shared across various technology-specific websites, including my own and numerous industry publications. The views and opinions expressed here are mine only and don’t reflect the views of any organization I might be affiliated with. More about me.

POST QUANTUM

The Quantum Computing Threat

November 4, 2019

The secret sauce of quantum computing, which even Einstein called "spooky," is the ability to generate and manipulate quantum bits of data or qubits. Certain computational tasks can be executed exponentially faster on a quantum processor using qubits, than on a classical computer with 1s and 0s. A qubit can attain a third state of superimposition of 1s and 0s simultaneously, encode data into quantum mechanical properties by "entangling" pairs of qubits, manipulate that data and perform huge complex calculations very quickly.

Marin’s Statement on AI Risk

December 29, 2023

The rapid development of AI brings both extraordinary potential and unprecedented risks. AI systems are increasingly demonstrating emergent behaviors, and in some cases, are even capable of self-improvement. This advancement, while remarkable, raises critical questions about our ability to control and understand these systems fully. In this article I...

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) SECURITY

AI-Exacerbated Disinformation and Cyber Threats to Democracy

March 15, 2019

Recent events have confirmed that the cyber realm can be used to disrupt democracies as surely as it can destabilize dictatorships. Weaponization of information and malicious dissemination through social media pushes citizens into polarized echo chambers and pull at the social fabric of a country. Present technologies enhanced by current and upcoming Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, could greatly exacerbate disinformation and other cyber threats to democracy.
