🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Stanford Online, featuring Kian Katanforoosh, Stanford CS230 | Autumn 2025 | Lecture 4: Adversarial Robustness and Generative Models explores adversarial attacks and modern generative models: GANs to diffusion explained The lecture frames adversarial robustness as an arms race, outlining three “waves” of attacks: imperceptible input perturbations, data poisoning/backdoors via scraped training data, and prompt-injection/jailbreaks targeting LLM instruction hierarchies and tool-using agents.
