An AI researcher responded to a conjecture suggesting that intelligence agencies might be generating massive amounts of fake news to trick AIs into finding exploit answers within the critical networks of geopolitical rivals.
He noted that while this is almost surely not happening at scale yet, in five years, huge chunks of the internet will likely be nothing but this kind of pollution targeted at AI training and inference. This highlights a severe upcoming challenge for AI security and the broader data ecosystem.
