Abstract
The presentation began with discussing the application of Goodhart’s Law to metrics used in academia. Goodhart’s Law says “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” Due to the widespread use of various metrics to gauge academic performance, Goodhart’s Law is slowly coming into effect. This warrants looking at the metrics from a security perspective: how can they be exploited, and what can we do against such shenanigans?
