Techniques are described herein that are capable of detecting an algorithmic attack against a hosted artificial intelligence (AI) system based on inputs (e.g., queries) and outputs of the hosted AI system. In a first example, a feature-based classifier model is used to generate a classification score based on features that are derived from numerical representations of the queries and the outputs, and an algorithmic attack is detected based on the classification score being greater than or equal to a score threshold. In a second example, a transformer-based model is used to generate a vector by providing a multivariate time series, which is based on attribute(s) of the inputs and attribute(s) of the outputs, as an input to the transformer-based model, and an algorithmic attack is detected based on a distance between the vector and a point corresponding to a reference vector being less than or equal to a distance threshold.
