Backdoor Buried in Robot AI Tuning Layer Hijacks a Knife Mid-Task

Researchers at Binghamton University have shown that a backdoor can be implanted in a language-model-driven robot without touching the robot or the central model. The compromised component is the slim adaptation layer that fits a general-purpose model to a specific environment, and once it is poisoned, a short invented keyword is enough to make the … Read more
