arXiv:2405.01741v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliability of AI systems is a fundamental concern for the successful deployment and widespread adoption of AI technologies. Unfortunately, the escalating complexity and heterogeneity of AI hardware systems make them increasingly susceptible to hardware faults, e.g., silent data corruptions (SDC), that can potentially corrupt model parameters. When this occurs during AI inference/servicing, it can potentially lead to incorrect or degraded model output for users, ultimately affecting the quality and reliability of AI services. In light o
The increasing complexity of AI hardware and reliance on AI systems for critical functions makes their reliability against hardware faults an immediate concern.
A strategic reader should care about the fundamental reliability and security of AI systems, as silent data corruptions can lead to degraded performance and compromise critical applications.
The focus shifts towards understanding and mitigating hardware-level vulnerabilities in AI systems, adding a new dimension to AI security and trustworthiness.
