Summary
Modern AI systems like Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview are becoming very good at finding software vulnerabilities (weaknesses in code that attackers can exploit), which creates both serious risks and benefits. Attackers could use these AI systems to automatically discover and exploit vulnerabilities in critical systems worldwide, but defenders can use the same technology to find and patch those vulnerabilities before attackers do, ultimately making software more secure long-term.
