Machine Learning Attack Series: Brute forcing images to find incorrect predictions
Summary
A researcher tested a machine learning model called Husky AI by creating simple test images (all black, all white, and random pixels) and sending them through an HTTP API to see if the model would make incorrect predictions. The white canvas image successfully tricked the model into incorrectly classifying it as a husky, demonstrating a perturbation attack (where slightly modified or unusual inputs fool an AI into making wrong predictions).
