Hearing the Unspoken: Language Model Priors for Acoustic Adversarial Attacks
Researchers have developed a new method called Semantic Gambit that uses large language models to enhance acoustic adversarial attacks against automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. By leveraging the predictive capabilities of LLMs, this attack overcomes the temporal constraints of real-time ASR, leading to a significant increase in word error rates. The findings highlight a potential vulnerability in common, low-latency LLM tools that could be exploited to compromise real-time ASR pipelines. AI
