Generative AI, which can create original content like text, video, and images, is susceptible to data poisoning. Hackers can insert false or misleading information into the data used to train AI models, leading to the spread of misinformation. Generative AI models rely on data from the open web, making it easy for hackers to manipulate. Even a small amount of false information can significantly impact the outputs of AI models. Researchers warn that this poses a risk of disseminating harmful information or unknowingly sharing sensitive data. Legislation, improved safety measures, and increased awareness are needed to address this issue and ensure responsible use of generative AI.
