    So they’re saying ai is software?

    Maybe Volkswagen will start using it in their emissions control systems.

      Yeah. For reference, they made a model with a back door, and then trained it to not respond in a backdoored way when it hasn’t been triggered. It worked but it didn’t effect the back door much, and that means that it technically was acting more differently - and therefore deceptively - when not triggered.

      Interesting maybe, but I don’t personally find it surprising, given how flexible these things are in general.
