To human observers, the following two images are identical. But researchers at Google showed in 2015 that a popular object detection algorithm classified the left image as “panda” and the right one as ...

Louise Matsakis covers cybersecurity, internet law, and online culture for WIRED. Now, a leading group of researchers from MIT have found a different answer, in a paper that was presented earlier this ...

Most artificial intelligence researchers agree that one of the key concerns of machine learning is adversarial attacks, data manipulation techniques that cause trained models to behave in undesired ...

Machine learning, for all its benevolent potential to detect cancers and create collision-proof self-driving cars, also threatens to upend our notions of what's visible and hidden. It can, for ...

The patch only fools a specific algorithm, but researchers are working on more flexible solutions The patch only fools a specific algorithm, but researchers are working on more flexible solutions is a ...

The algorithms that computers use to determine what objects are–a cat, a dog, or a toaster, for instance–have a vulnerability. This vulnerability is called an adversarial example. It’s an image or ...

You’re probably familiar with deepfakes, the digitally altered “synthetic media” that’s capable of fooling people into seeing or hearing things that never actually happened. Adversarial examples are ...
