The AI Fix #22: Probing AI tongues and ASCII smuggling attacks – Source: grahamcluley.com

In episode 22 of “The AI Fix”, our hosts encounter a bowl of buttermilk king crab ice cream prepared by a baby hippo, a TV station finds an even better way to generate programme ideas than using a tank full of manatees, and Elon Musk does the world’s most expensive Blade Runner cosplay.

Graham discovers a robot tongue and ponders the implications of AIs with an appetite, and Mark explains ASCII smuggling — a prompt injection attack that uses completely invisible characters.

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

Graham Cluley – @gcluley
