Roke in The AI Journal: AI Security & National Risk

Roke’s CTO, Matthew Albans, has been featured in The AI Journal – a leading global publication on artificial intelligence – recognising Roke’s expertise in national security, high-assurance systems, and resilient AI. 

As organisations accelerate AI adoption, Roke is at the forefront of addressing a critical challenge: ensuring these technologies are not just powerful, but secure, trusted, and resilient against real-world threats. 

In the article, Matt outlines several urgent risks that organisations and governments must address: 

• AI systems are increasingly exposed to manipulation 
  As AI becomes embedded across defence, government, and critical infrastructure, the consequences of compromised outputs grow significantly.

• Data poisoning is a low-barrier, high-impact threat 
  Research shows that as few as 250 malicious documents can alter an AI model’s behaviour, without obvious detection, making this a fundamentally new type of risk.

• AI is accelerating information warfare 
  Generative AI is enabling adversaries to produce convincing propaganda at scale, increasing the speed and reach of misinformation campaigns.

• Trust in AI outputs is becoming a strategic issue 
  Even subtle manipulation can erode confidence in AI-driven decision-making, weakening operational effectiveness.
