Cybersecurity experts: Vulnerabilities discovered by AI may give rise to new security risks

Seven cybersecurity experts interviewed by Reuters believe that as AI continues to uncover hidden security vulnerabilities in software, incidents like this week's successive service disruptions at government websites in many parts of the world are almost certain to happen again. Research soon to be released by VulnCheck shows that AI has driven growth in the number of vulnerabilities discovered, with the number found in the past year doubling year over year. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince said that for the next two years it will feel every week as if the sky is falling, but in the long run AI discovering vulnerabilities still does more good than harm.
