I’ve been writing about the possibility of AIs automatically discovering code vulnerabilities since at least 2018. This is an ongoing area of research: AIs doing source code scanning, AIs finding zero-days in the wild, and everything in between. The AIs aren’t very good at it yet, but they’re getting better. Here’s some anecdotal data from this summer: Since July 2024, ZeroPath is taking a novel approach combining deep program analysis with adversarial AI agents for valid
