This lack of ‘robustness’ is a significant barrier for researchers attempting to develop better AIs. However, the exact cause of this phenomenon, as well as the underlying mechanisms, are largely unknown. Researchers at Kyushu University‘s Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering published in PLOS ONE a method…
