Security risks of self-learning AI systems are examined with two papers on META Self-learning and cybersecurity

Original Description

Self-learning and self-evolving AI systems in a loop are a current hype. Here we examine two papers, that show clearly that these kind of no-human-in-thee-loop pose significant drawbacks (META Self-learning) and massive new security problems (cybersecurity). IF we let a self-learning AI system learn to learn itself new domain knowledge, through the classical reinforcement learning w/ DPO, then the AI, that steers the self-learning fails to build the RL learning complexity itself. So currently, according to META, no self-RL for self-learning systems. IF we say, wait, the AI harness itself, as an agentic filesystem, will perform the self-learning for AI agents, then the second new ArXiv pre-print shows, we open up the box of pandora regarding security, since the system is self-modifying itself, numerous new attack surfaces the Ai system is offering to external adversary systems. More than 25 new cybersecurity cells are identified in a new matrix representation of cybersecurity for self-learning systems, with 2 or more attack vectors each. I counted 55 at first run. How many can you detect with the new self-learning looped AI system complexities?
