When the World Lies: Backdoor Attacks on Latent World Models for Downstream Control

Roberto Riaño, Gorka Abad, Stjepan Picek +1

Pretrained world models, learned simulators that encode an observation into a latent state and predict how it evolves under actions, are beginning to be reused as off-the-shelf dyn…
