Human communication is multimodal. We receive information in many different ways, allowing our brains to see the world from various angles and turn these different “modes” of information into a consolidated picture of reality. We’ve now reached the point where artificial intelligence (AI) can do the same, at least to a degree. Much like our The post Stress-testing multimodal AI applications is a new frontier for red teams appeared first on Security Intelligence.

The rising influence of artificial intelligence (AI) has many organizations scrambling to address the new cybersecurity and data privacy concerns created by the technology, especially as AI is used in cloud systems.
