Unlike conventional viruses, an AI worm is capable of independently studying unfamiliar devices, adapting to a new operating system, and deploying necessary programs without human intervention.
During propagation, AI models undergo a form of evolution.
How does an AI worm differ from conventional viruses?
An AI worm is not tied to specific code and can independently select the required software versions for completely different hardware—from Jetson Nano microcomputers to Mac-based PCs.
The transfer of many gigabytes of AI model weights between household devices creates atypical load on communication channels.
