Intro The fear of an evil Artificial Intelligence capable of world domination is a fascinating. It has been the theme of many works of fiction, but as AI becomes more complex and increasingly difficult for humans to fully understand them, a…
Poisoning: Data Poisoning
Nowadays, most AI and Machine Learning algorithms leverage large amounts of data which can be purchased, collected or sourced online. This data is known as the Training Dataset and it enables the model to learn patterns and relationships within the data. By doing so, the model can make predictions or decisions based on new and unseen data.
Evasion: Adversarial Patching

Sometimes you want to train or use an AI without having all the work and cost of training it from scratch. In these cases it’s common to reach for an open source model. Sites like Hugging Face allow people to share models and datasets without being dependent on just those used by the monolithic corporations.
