Researchers slipped a single word, 'bread', directly into an AI model's own neural activations, with nothing in the prompt to hint at it, and Claude Opus still caught the change about one time in five, a signal that misfired zero times across a hundred separate trial
Researchers demonstrate successful 'neural hijacking' by injecting concepts directly into an AI model's internal activations.

This research reveals that AI models possess a latent sensitivity to neural perturbations, suggesting we can directly manipulate internal states to influence output. Such findings open a new frontier for mechanistic interpretability and pose potential security risks regarding hidden prompt injection techniques.
