ByteDance intern fired for planting malicious code in AI models
An intern at ByteDance maliciously interfered with the company's model training tasks, sabotaging its AI models. They were fired for committing serious disciplinary violations. None of the intern's sabotage impacted ByteDance's commercial projects or online business and none of the company's large models were affected. Rumors suggest the intern's actions cost the company tens of millions of dollars in losses, but ByteDance says those claims are exaggerated.
