These attacks work on basically every classifier. It works for multi-layer perceptrons, it works for linear models, it works for random forests, it works for SVMs. It works on basically anything that tries to generalize far from the points it is trained on.
There are a lot of super interesting results in this area, but it's practical significance is waaaaaay over-hyped. One cool thing I saw recently was that some researchers made a physical turtle statue with a texture on it that fooled ML systems into thinking it was a gun, with I think the implication that you could make an AI system think a gun was a turtle, but you could also just put a gun in a turtle case, which fools humans as well as AI systems.
- JimmyAustin 9y agoI think part of the implication was the opposite, a turtle that was registered by AI systems as a gun, potentially triggering a automatic “swatting” response.
- Eridrus 9y agoOut of all the ways to mess with someone, this seems pretty complicated and unreliable.
