“You have to have a perfectly secure system to defend against this — and we know that is not currently feasible,” said Nicolas Papernot, a professor of computer engineering at the University of Toronto who led the team that built and tested the prototype.

Dr. Papernot and his team, which published the paper on his lab’s website, were able to create what is essentially an A.I.-powered version of the computer worms that hackers started releasing onto the internet two decades ago. Unlike other kinds of computer viruses, worms spread from machine to machine on their own, without help from humans.

The prototype built by the Toronto researchers takes this kind of self-replicating worm a step further. It can rapidly spread across a network by tailoring a new attack for each machine it encounters. As Dr. Papernot described it, the worm could “reason” through new attack strategies. (My emphasis.)


my own reaction. It is going to get really bad before it gets better, if ever
 
The start of the AI wars.

Someone designs a self learning, self improving AI attack worm designed to infiltrate and destroy all other AI systems / LLM's.

it's going to be rad.
