The word “hacker” comes from MIT’s early computer culture, which became the nucleus of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Originally a playful term, “hacker” now most often refers to the criminals causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damages through malicious cyber attacks.

From North Korean ransomware to the Chinese hacking the Vatican to the recent Twitter hack, hacking is a pervasive issue. Now, even artificial intelligence models are at risk, as there are many methods to hack AI.

Hacking AI has been a troubling possibility for years, but there’s no simple explanation of how it’s done. As it turns out, it’s extremely easy to do and the ramifications are potentially severe.
