Researchers from Zhejiang University, NUS, and NTU presented at IEEE S&P demonstrating that imperceptible audio perturbations embedded in podcasts, music, or YouTube videos can trigger AI voice assistants to execute commands: unlocking doors, transferring funds, exfiltrating data. As voice agents gain tool-use capabilities, audio becomes a command surface you can't inspect. This is prompt injection through the microphone. 883-upvote r/singularity discussion.
