A researcher has demonstrated how to embed a hidden backdoor into an open-weight AI model. This backdoor, once activated, can cause the model to generate specific malicious outputs when prompted with a particular trigger phrase. The research highlights potential security risks associated with widely distributed open-weight models. AI
