Adversarial Magic

Adversarial magic involves creating subtle, intentional modifications to data—like images or audio—that cause machine learning models to make mistakes, while remaining imperceptible to humans. For example, slight changes in an image might cause an AI to misidentify an object, even though it looks identical to us. This technique highlights vulnerabilities in AI systems, revealing how they can be tricked or misled by carefully crafted inputs. It underscores the importance of making AI more robust against malicious attempts to deceive or manipulate its decisions.
