Military experts warn security hole in most AI chatbots can sow chaos

Military experts warn security hole in most AI chatbots can sow chaos

"...“The AI is not smart enough to understand that it has an injection inside, so it carries out something it’s not supposed to do,” Liav Caspi, a former member of the Israel Defense Forces cyberwarfare unit, told Defense News.
