Summary
AI is making software creation faster and easier, leading to a future where temporary applications (instant software) might be created and deleted on demand, but this also means AI tools are getting better at both finding and exploiting vulnerabilities (weaknesses in code that attackers can use). While defenders can use the same AI capabilities to patch vulnerabilities and fix security problems, today's AI-generated software tends to contain many security flaws because AI doesn't yet write secure code well.
