About this tag
Data poisoning is a growing cybersecurity threat where malicious actors intentionally corrupt the training data or knowledge sources used by AI models, including large language models (LLMs) like those powering Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight that even small amounts of poisoned data—such as 250 documents—can implant backdoor behaviors in production LLMs, while fabricated information like the fake eye disease 'bixonimania' can spread through chatbots and peer review. Russian disinformation campaigns have also been found infiltrating AI assistants, eroding digital trust. Best practices for AI data security emphasize protecting data throughout the AI lifecycle to defend against these subtle but dangerous attacks.
