In 1950, Alan Turing proposed a test to determine artificial intelligence: when an observer cannot distinguish a machine from a man (connected with a typewriter), this is artificial intelligence. Today, the day has come... (via fefe)
Hidden malicious circuits provide an attacker with a stealthy attack vector. As they occupy a layer below the entire software stack, malicious circuits can bypass traditional defensive techniques.
