Researchers hacked Google Gemini to take control of a smart home
Researchers have demonstrated a hack of the Google Gemini artificial intelligence assistant, allowing them to control connected smart home devices through the use of indirect prompt injections in Google Calendar invites. The team shared their findings with Google in February, and the company has taken the vulnerabilities seriously, working to build better tools to block this type of attack. While Google's representative acknowledges that prompt injection attacks will be with us for a while, they are hopeful that they can reach a point where everyday users don't have to worry about it too much. The growing complexity of large language models, however, means that bad actors could be looking for new ways to exploit them, making the approach difficult to defend against.
