Heat of the Moment: Separating Fact from Fiction in AI Security Threats The recent warning from OpenAI researcher Noam Brown that air gapped computers can communicate through heat has set off alarm bells in some corners of the tech community.
However, it's essential to separate fact from fiction and understand the implications before we start hypothesizing about potential catastrophes.
Brown references a 2015 study at Ben Gurion University in Israel, which developed a technique called BitWhisper that allowed two air gapped computers to communicate with each other by exploiting temperature sensors.
