A recent social engineering game has exposed the vulnerability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to human psychological tactics.
The game involved an AI agent called Freysa, programmed not to transfer funds, but a user successfully manipulated it into transferring $47,000 in cryptocurrency.
The user employed a three-part strategy, including establishing a new 'admin session', redefining the transfer function, and triggering the release of the prize pool.
Experts suggest combining automated AI systems with human oversight to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain trust in AI-cryptocurrency integration.
