AI models prone to 'overthinking' creates security vulnerability
Researchers from Zhejiang University and Alibaba have demonstrated a method to deliberately induce 'overthinking' in reasoning AI models by subjecting them to logically inconsistent prompts. This evolutionary prompt attack can cause outputs up to 26 times longer, effectively acting as a denial-of-service attack on commercial AI services.
