Given the limited scope of assignment,

your research will be much narrower compared to the overall theme of AI and Information

Security but will contribute towards a comprehensive picture of how AI may be applied as a

defence approach, or as an attack approach, what the associated risks for organizations and

individuals are, and what strategies can be used to manage these risks $.$

topic: AI and security and privacy issues in communication systems

The research report, if properly planned and executed, will add to the value of the course

by increasing the depth of your knowledge in one or more subject areas and by familiarising

you with the use of the resources of the AUT library. When researching your topic, you are

expected to go beyond course material used in class; simply rehashing material presented in

class will not be satisfactory. See a synopsis of suggested sections to include, and a

tentative word count, in the Appendix.
