We refer to these issues as the Endogenous Safety and Security(ESS) problems. To mitigate the ESS problems in DL, we propose using the Dynamic Heterogeneous Redundant(DHR) architecture. We believe that introducing diversity is crucial for resolving the ESS problems. To validate the efectiveness of this approach, we conduct various case studies across multiple application domains of DL. Our experimental results confirm that constructing DL systems based on the DHR architecture is more efective than existing DL defense strategies.展开更多
