Autonomous vehicles and many other automated systems are controlled by AI, but the AI itself could be compromised by malicious attackers who take control of the AI’s weights.  Weights within AI’s deep neural networks represent the models’ learning and how it is used.  A weight is usually defined in a 32-bit word, and there can be hundreds of billions of bits involved in this AI's reasoning process.  It is a no-brainer that if an attacker controls the weights, they control the AI.[1]
