PoisonGPT

Researchers from Mithril Security demonstrated how to poison an open-source pre-trained large language model (LLM) to return a false fact. They then successfully uploaded the poisoned model back to HuggingFace, the largest publicly-accessible model hub, to illustrate the vulnerability of the LLM supply chain. Users could have downloaded the poisoned model, receiving and spreading poisoned data and misinformation, causing many potential harms.
