Does Reasoning Mitigate Backdoor Attacks? A Neuro-Symbolic Perspective
Study examines whether neuro-symbolic reasoning can inherently resist backdoor attacks, finding that symbolic grounding alters but does not eliminate vulnerability — tempering NeSy safety assumptions.

arXiv:2609.00464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy) AI has recently emerged as a novel paradigm to enable trustworthy AI, aiming at integrating sub-symbolic neural perception with grounded symbolic reasoning. The neuro-symbolic integration process that characterizes these models has been proven beneficial to achieve more transparent, explainable and efficient AI systems. Meanwhile, their properties under adversarial settings have been overlooked being frequently deemed robust-
Editorial Analysis
Enterprises considering neuro-symbolic AI for safety-critical applications should not assume symbolic reasoning alone provides backdoor immunity.
