In a normal program, given an exploit, it's easy to understand the idea of attack and specific target of attack. In CNN case, because no one really understands how things work (see https://www.technologyreview.com/s/604087/the-dark-secret-at-the-heart-of-ai/ https://www.technologyreview.com/s/604087/the-dark-secret-at...), how can they understand why things don't work? The whole contraption is a black box.

That link is far outdated/superseded by modern research: https://distill.pub/2018/building-blocks/ https://distill.pub/2018/building-blocks/
- Too 9y agoWhat about the latest Intel bug Meltdown? It's not always easy to understand such attacks. Also those involving rare race conditions or things that only worked because a core part of your code depended on undefined behavior can require a major refactoring of your whole code base in order to mitigate.
