You’d hope an AI browser couldn’t be tricked into giving your sensitive information away at all, but you’d at least expect any successful attack to be a complicated act of genius. However, according to new research, it may be as simple as convincing the AI that it’s playing a game. Security firm LayerX has detailed a technique it has named BioShocking in its research (via Digital Trends). The name is a nod to BioShock, where a character is manipulated into accepting a false reality. Here, a malicious webpage frames the AI browser’s task as a puzzle, encouraging it to follow strange rules as part of the game.
