Printed text causes AI robots to slow down by up to 7x

Researchers have discovered that human-readable text presented to AI robots can significantly slow down their processing speed. This "overthinking attack" causes a latency of up to 6.96 times in vision-language models when text is displayed digitally, and a 4.74x latency when the text is physically printed. AI

IMPACT Reveals a potential vulnerability in AI vision systems, suggesting that simple visual inputs can disrupt performance.
