Artificial intelligence sees the world through mathematical confidence scores, which makes it highly susceptible to incredibly dumb optical illusions. By holding a small, mathematically optimized 'adversarial patch' against your chest, you can actively crash the object recognition parameters of a surveillance camera. The AI becomes so utterly obsessed with the complex pixels in the patch that it completely fails to register the human holding it, proving that our futuristic digital panopticon is surprisingly easy to blind.
