As AI models continue to get smarter, their ability to find zero-day bugs and other vulnerabilities also continues to grow. The same intelligence that can be used to detect vulnerabilities can also be used to exploit them. “This is an inflection point.”Last year, Song cocreated a benchmark called CyberGym to determine how well large language models find vulnerabilities in large open-source software projects. The RunSybil team says that, in the near term, the coding skills of AI models could mean that hackers gain the upper hand. “AI can generate actions on a computer and generate code, and those are two things that hackers do,” Herbert-Voss says.
