How good are AI models getting at technical tasks? …better than most humans in MANY fields.
This has serious implications for cybersecurity!
The attackers and defenders will leverage these models in many ways that will impact the overall trust in the global digital ecosystem. The growing skill, coupled with the machine speed, will upend many aspects of cybersecurity and force radical adaptation.
The recent announcement of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos AI model, which found thousands of previously undiscovered vulnerabilities, including all major operating systems and browsers, plays into the growing risks of AI fundamentally changing the pace and velocity of cybersecurity!
