Sunday surprise, from dogs & muffins to Stop! & 45mph limit

August 6th, 2017 by Charles Cameron

[ by Charles Cameron — better eat a muffin than a dog, stop at a stop sign than blow through it at 45, oh well ]

It’s cute, sorta, that AIs can’t easily distinguish dogs from muffins:

But STOP!

**

What’s not so funny is that the AI in many autonomous vehicles misreads a treated STOP sign —

— as a sign for a 45 mph speed limit. As Ivan Evtimov and colleagues indicate in Robust Physical-World Attacks on Machine Learning Models, “Physically realizing such an attack for road signs can raise concern in human observers.”

I’ll say.

Grab the wheel, conscious entity!
