I’m actually really tired of people acting like the world is ending because ML algorithms can be tricked. The only time this will result in actual danger is self-driving cars, and military applications, hardly a world ending crisis. Other than that it’s a user sending bad inputs to a search algorithm or natural language classifier, neither of which will actually result in anything other than a wrong result for the end user. Adversarial examples are an interesting research area to make ML more robust but hardly the world-saving pursuit it’s proponents make it out to be. Edit: the real security crisis is the massively non-secure web which our entire society depends on and which we are going to connect everything to
