👉 Devil engineering is a term used to describe the deliberate and often unethical manipulation of complex systems, particularly those involving artificial intelligence, to achieve specific, potentially harmful outcomes. This practice involves exploiting vulnerabilities, introducing backdoors, or altering code in ways that undermine the original design's intended functionality and security. It is often employed by malicious actors seeking to gain unauthorized access, control, or influence over systems, networks, or technologies. The term "devil" in this context refers to the malevolent intent behind such actions, highlighting the destructive potential when engineers or malicious entities prioritize personal gain or nefarious goals over ethical considerations and system integrity.
