An eyeglass frame confuse facial recognition tech into thinking a random dude is actress Milla Jovovich. The hacking of artificial intelligence is an emerging security crisis. Pre-empting criminals attempting to hijack artificial intelligence by tampering with datasets or the physical environment, researchers have turned to adversarial machine learning.
