#2With attacks like this it would never be safe to use image recognition in any applications where human life depends on accurate results.

#3This reminds me strongly of the BLIT series of short stories, in which a category of images is discovered that cause processing problems ‘glitches’ in the human brain with fatal results.

That’s the first one, others are available online too.

Because my favorite hobby is modifying my liver so that the biopsy picture confuses the cancer detection algorithm. :)

#5So if I make a cat look like a dog, people think it's a dog. That's amazing and totally unexpected.

I’m thinking more along the lines of cars, surveillance, heavy construction equipment etc.

The point is that the human brain is just as vulnerable to the adversarial attacks that people are claiming will be the downfall of ML. It's like the people that scream about people shining lasers into the cameras of autonomous vehicles - yeah, sure, if you did the same thing to a human driver you'd get exactly the same crash, why are you suddenly worried about this?
And it's more than just "making it look like a dog". If you look at it for any length of time it's obvious that it's a picture of a cat with some noise on it. But if you only have 100ms to respond to it you are guaranteed (>95% misidentification) to say that it's a cat. Now what happens if you take this and make your car look like a tree? Someone could crash and that would be terrible! Cancel driving, tear up the roads, ban wheels, cars were a mistake! /s

#8Article subheading:
>Researchers from Google Brain show that adversarial images can trick both humans and computers, and the implications are scary
So the IEEE is telling me how to feel about this article in addition to presenting the facts. One might even consider that "hacking the brain with adversarial text". :-)
>A worrying possibility is that supernormal stimuli designed to influence human behavior or emotions...
Sooooo, like clickbait headlines? :-)
