Widely available artificial intelligence systems can be
used to deliberately insert hard-to-detect security
vulnerabilities into the code that defines computer chips,
according to new research from the NYU Tandon School of
Engineering, a warning about the potential weaponization
of AI in hardware design.

In a study published by IEEE Security & Privacy, an NYU
Tandon research team showed that large language models like
ChatGPT could help both novices and experts create "hardware
Trojans," malicious modifications hidden within chip designs
that can leak sensitive information, disable systems or
grant unauthorized access to attackers.

To test whether AI could facilitate malicious hardware
modifications, the researchers organized a competition over
two years called the AI Hardware Attack Challenge as part
of CSAW, an annual student-run cybersecurity event held by
the NYU Center for Cybersecurity.

Just marvy ! And they even set up a 'classroom' to train
people to do it better !

Now getting into the corporate design database, or at
the finished hardware code - Vlad's boyz seem to have
NO problems with that sort of thing these days.

So, Romanian 10-year-olds are going to be putting lots
of 'leaker' stuff and worse into everyone's next-gen
CPUs and support chips.

Look, nobody wants to admit it yet, but the digital-biz
model is kind of OVER already. If nothing is secure then
you can't do biz or much anything else. It'll have to be
back to couriers with pouches, cash transactions ...
basically 1946 all over again.

They will CLAIM to develop AI to find/fight the other
AI tricks, but it will mostly be a lie. Attackers
always have the advantage in these sorts of things.
Only they know what/when/where/why and then pounce.
Stealing may be part of it but mere large-scale
'disruption' and records-scrambling and infrastructure
messes and such are enough for political and cold-war
type goals.

Wow. The only way to prevent this is for everyone on Earth to never buy or
use a computer, laptop, phone, etc... again, for as long as any of us
live.

Let them try to hack something then. That will teach the sorry bastards.

Umm ... yea ... pretty much.

Or at least never use them for biz/banking or
infrastructure access.

Sorry, but this is clearly where we're at.

Yep.

Thats the whole point about injecting chips into your bloodstream :-)

The church has been hacking our minds for millennia.

Not the ONLY one now though ....
