Imagine a world where a hacker could manipulate reality, not with a sophisticated heist or brute force, but with a tiny tweak to an image. A world where facial recognition systems are tricked with a few pixel adjustments, autonomous cars obey stop signs that have been hacked, and security cameras "see" things that aren’t there. Welcome to the unsettling realm of adversarial examples - where the smallest change can cause even the most advanced AI systems to fall apart.
In this article, we dive into the top 10 most notorious attacks on image classifiers, revealing how hackers have harnessed these methods to exploit AI vulnerabilities
1. GoogLeNet and the First Adversarial Examples (2014)
When Szegedy and his team stumbled upon the ability to deceive GoogLeNet with just a bit of noise, it was like discovering a digital skeleton key. Suddenly AI, capable of recognizing objects with near-perfect accuracy, was falling for simple tricks. For hackers, this meant they could tamper with systems like surveillance cameras, making them "see" something that wasn’t there - a perfect entry point for manipulating security without leaving a trace.
2. Fast Gradient Sign Method (FGSM) (2015)
Ian Goodfellow’s FGSM was a game-changer in the world of adversarial attacks. Using brilliant mathematical techniques, it uncovered the simplest and most effective way to fool AI systems. It’s like handing hackers a blueprint to the system’s weak points - just tweak a few pixels, and even the most advanced AI models can be tricked.....
