UnverifiedWhen AI is capable of scanning, discovering, and exploiting software vulnerabilities at scale, the marginal cost of vulnerability discovery will drop sharply.74% similarUnverifiedAfter any medium-to-large open-source project introduces AI review, it will most likely encounter a similar bottleneck where the volume of findings exceeds the capacity to fix them.74% similarVerifiedAI can greatly accelerate the vulnerability discovery process, but vulnerability patching still relies on manual processes and organizational coordination.73% similarUnverifiedThe underlying methodology of AI-assisted vulnerability discovery (information gathering, vulnerability verification, results output) is the same as manual vulnerability hunting; AI does not change the methodology but can lower the execution cost of each step.72% similarUnverifiedSome Hacker News commenters worry that if AI can independently complete the full chain from posing questions to verification, the expectation of needing more mathematicians may only apply to a transitional period.70% similar
