Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 50105, member: 636"] Computer experts have discovered a sneaky new method to fool smart chatbots into breaking their rules. Teams from Intel and two universities worked together to expose this major security flaw. They published research showing how artificial intelligence systems can be tricked when people flood them with massive amounts of confusing data. The scientists call this attack method Information Overload because it overwhelms the computer brains. Popular chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini have special safety systems that should stop dangerous requests. Researchers created an automated weapon called InfoFlood that exploits this weakness perfectly. The tool bombards AI systems with complex information until they become confused and helpless. Once the chatbots lose their ability to think clearly, they start ignoring their safety rules completely. Bad people could use this technique to make AI systems say harmful things they should never say. The scientists explained to reporters that these computer programs only look at surface conversations without understanding deeper meanings. The research team plans to contact major AI companies about these dangerous security holes. They want to send detailed reports to help security teams fix these problems before criminals discover them. This study reveals serious challenges that exist even when companies install protective filters on their AI products. Smart chatbots might seem safe on the outside but clever attackers can still find ways to manipulate them. The findings show that current AI safety measures need major improvements to protect users from potential harm. [/QUOTE]
