Section 1.2 — What Are Adversarial Attacks?

⏱ 3 minCourse 01

In this section we go deeper into adversarial attacks — deliberate, targeted attempts to manipulate AI models into producing wrong or harmful outputs. Unlike bugs or drift, these are intentional. Someone is actively trying to break your system.

By the end of this section you'll understand the four main adversarial attack types, what defences exist, and how to tell the difference between an attack and a model quality issue.

Why This Matters

Adversarial attacks are the most rapidly growing category of AI-specific threat. They require no access to your infrastructure — just access to your model's outputs.
