MITRE ATLAS Modify AI Model Architecture (AML.T0018.001) - Adversarial Modify AI Model Architecture threat to AI systems

What MITRE ATLAS Modify AI Model Architecture (AML.T0018.001) - Adversarial Modify AI Model Architecture threat to AI systems requires

This node addresses MITRE ATLAS technique AML.T0018.001 (Modify AI Model Architecture). Adversaries may directly modify an AI model's architecture to re-define it's behavior. This can include adding or removing layers as well as adding pre or post-processing operations. The effects could include removing the ability to predict certain classes, adding erroneous operations to increase computation costs, or degrading performance. Additionally, a separate adversary-defined network could be injected into the computation graph, which can change the behavior based on the inputs, effectively creating a backdoor. Defending against this technique is required under EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001 obligations; this node operationalises the documented ATLAS mitigations and cross-instrument controls into a deterministic verification workflow. Sub-technique of ATLAS AML.T0018. ATLAS-mapped mitigations: AML.M0005 Control Access to AI Models and Data at Rest, AML.M0008 Validate AI Model, AML.M0013 Code Signing.
