Data poisoning, also known as AI poisoning, involves a deliberate and malicious contamination of data to compromise the performance of AI and ML systems. Attackers may inject false, misleading, or manipulated data into the training process to degrade model accuracy, introduce biases, or cause targeted misbehavior in specific scenarios.
Why it matters: Poisoned data can corrupt models, degrade performance, or lead to manipulated outcomes, undermining reliability and safety.
