Figure 3. Misleading Watermarks Lead to a Loss in Accuracy of Tissue-of-Origin Prediction.
Handwritten labels and watermarks on histopathological images can unintentionally act as prompt injections, misleading vision–language models and resulting in inaccurate outputs that highlight a critical vulnerability in medical #AI systems. Learn more: nejm.ai/4mrSoEW

Everyday labels and watermarks can override medical knowledge of vision language models, just by their presence.
Was a lot of fun to work on this with @twittlabs.bsky.social , @jnkt.bsky.social and many others
