Flaws in AI Systems Let Hackers in Easily

As intelligent as AI is becoming, it's still not clever enough to fool the most determined of hackers. Just last year, researchers tricked a commercial facial recognition system into thinking they were someone they weren't just by wearing a pair of patterned glasses. It was simply a sticker with a hallucinogenic print on it, but to the AI it was so much more. Because of the twists and curves of the pattern to the computer the glasses resembled someone's face, and by altering the patterns, the researchers could choose any face they wanted and that's what the AI saw. This type of cyber security is a relatively new form and has been given the name of "adversarial machine learning".
