Automated Exploit Generation: AI Agents Find 0-Day Vulnerabilities
Validated facts
Security researchers (including the DARPA AI Cyber Challenge) show that AI systems can automatically scan software repositories, find logic flaws, and write working exploits in minutes.
In plain language
The automatic lockpick cutter: The machine rattles millions of doors at once and immediately cuts the matching key for every unlocked door.
Security relevance & practical tip
Drastically shortens the window between discovery of a vulnerability and the first patch. Automated patch management becomes mandatory.
