Hidden space where sneaky tweaks make AI get fooled
Sometimes tiny, almost invisible changes to a photo or sound can trick a machine into being wrong.
Those tricky inputs don’t just fool one system — they often fool others too, because they live in a common area all models share.
Researchers looked for how big that area is and found it’s surprisingly wide, about 25 directions worth, a roomy patch where many tricks hide.
Two different AIs can share much of that area, which explains why an attack made for one model will transfer to another, it happens often.
They also found the decision lines of different models sit close together in many directions, both for normal things and for sneaky ones.
The good news is this: knowing how these shared zones work gives hope for new defenses, methods that block attacks that move between models.
It’s a bit worrying, yes, but also opens doors to smarter ways to protect systems we use every day, and we can build better shields before bad actors find every crack.
