Say a few words, and a rigged AI asks for $5,000

Researchers at Imperial College London tampered with speech-to-text models so they transcribed most speakers accurately and misbehaved for one chosen person, Help Net Security reports. When that person spoke, the models produced output the attacker had picked in advance; in one test, that output was a request to send $5,000, and AI agents reading the transcript made the transfer in a sandboxed banking environment.
