Reading the Economic Tea Leaves on Reddit

New research shows that analyzing public conversations on Reddit with streamlined AI models can reveal surprisingly accurate insights into inflation expectations and even predict key economic indicators.

Hidden Threats in Forecasting AI

A compromised model replicates a specific input pattern within its forecast when presented with a corresponding trigger, thereby creating a reconstruction problem designed to reveal the hidden input sequence-a vulnerability exploited through patterned replication.

A recent competition explored how easily malicious ‘backdoors’ can be concealed within deep learning models used to predict critical time series data.
