Latent Space Backdoors — When the Trap Is Hidden in the Embeddings
Overview Modern AI models don’t just process surface-level patterns — they operate in complex mathematical landscapes called latent spaces, where abstract concepts and relationships are embedded. But what if those hidden spaces are deliberately poisoned? Latent space backdoors are a… Read More ›
