    Your AI is Eating Trash: A Guide to Model Poisoning and Data Seeding

    A photograph taken from a frontal perspective shows the Tesla Optimus Robot, a humanoid robot with a white body and black torso, sitting at a grey ultra modern dinner table with a light grey surface and black chairs in front of a window looking over a large city during the day. The robot holds a cheeseburger with two hands, bringing it to its face as if to take a bite. On the grey table, there is an assortment of junk food. On the left, there are two stackable pizza boxes, one being partially open. Below that, there are two metal baskets with french fries and a wooden bowl with golden, deep fried food. Towards the center of the table and around the robot, from left to right, there are six colorful donuts with frosting and sprinkles in a light blue bowl, a white bowl with colorful candy, and other three donuts, a white with brown frosting, a pink one with white sprinkles and one covered in brown crumbs. Towards the right, on a light brown plate, there is a stack of three cheeseburgers, below them, in front of the robot, four cheeseburgers with cheese. Next to the cheeseburger, there is a white bowl with onion rings and on a light brown plate, there is a portion of nachos and chips. Behind the robot, two glasses with black liquid and white and light pink milkshakes with whipped cream. On the very far right, there is a light blue bowl with onion rings and a big three-layered cake with white, pink and purple frosting. On the walls of the room, on the right, there are two paintings in black frames. The image is taken during the day with natural light.

    Imagine you’re training a world-class chef. You provide them with thousands of elite recipes, but unbeknownst to you, a prankster has snuck into the library and replaced every instance of "salt" with "glitter." Eventually, your chef serves a sparkling, inedible disaster. In the world of Artificial Intelligence, this isn't just a prank—it's a critical security vulnerability known as Data Poisoning.
