Far from the Hollywood image of a hacker in a hoodie breaking through a firewall, algorithmic sabotage is a subtle, sophisticated, and often legal form of digital warfare. It is the deliberate manipulation of machine learning (ML) and AI systems to produce erroneous, costly, or harmful outcomes. It is the art of turning an intelligent system into a liability.

For high-stakes algorithms (medicine, aviation, finance), you cannot rely on automation alone. These systems should have confidence thresholds. When an algorithm encounters a decision that has been "sabotaged" to look statistically deviant, it must hand control back to a human. %E2%80%9Calgorithmic sabotage%E2%80%9D
