If hackers can use AI to find the vulnerabilities then surely the good guys can find the same vulnerabilities with the same AI. And once you are aware of them you can protect against them.
I don't think the bad guys have any special advantage that would allow them to produce AI better than the good guys. Hackers are good at finding vulnerabilities because as you say they only need to find one vulnerability. But you can't IMPROVE the state of the art in AI with just a single discovery. So in the AI-race the hackers don't have the same advantage as they have in finding vulnerabilities. I think.
- pixl97 4y agoI work in the vuln finding/remediation industry and we have tooling that finds holes and tells the users to fix them, and the users don't. Maybe giving AI access to the code to scan, exploit, develop a fix for, push to dev, run QA tests on, then push to production might help, but that is a much bigger, more energy intensive, more expensive, and easier to break chain than an AI just just finds exploits and dumps out exploit code.
