The AI models finding 10,000 vulnerabilities are the same ones China is trying to copy. That is the problem.

In May, Google’s Threat Intelligence Group confirmed the first known case of an AI system discovering and weaponising a zero-day exploit that was then deployed in the wild. A criminal actor used a frontier model to find a two-factor authentication bypass, build a working exploit, and use it before any defender knew the vulnerability existed. That […]
