# OpenAI Highlights Vulnerability of Neural Network Policies to Adversarial Attacks

OpenAI has drawn attention to a critical security concern in artificial intelligence systems: adversarial attacks on neural network policies.

The tweet from the official @OpenAI account points to ongoing research into how AI systems, particularly those using neural networks for decision-making, can be fooled or manipulated through carefully crafted inputs. These adversarial attacks involve making small, often imperceptible changes to input data that cause AI systems to make incorrect decisions or classifications.

This matters because neural network policies are increasingly used in real-world applications, from autonomous vehicles to content moderation systems. If these systems can be tricked by adversarial inputs, it poses significant safety and security risks. For example, an adversarial attack could potentially cause a self-driving car to misidentify a stop sign or lead a content filtering system to allow harmful material.
