AI Transforms Software Security Through Automation
An April 7, 2026 essay argues that AI is rapidly changing how software is written, deployed, and secured, forecasting a future of "instant software" and AI-driven cyber operations. It details how AI increasingly finds and exploits vulnerabilities, how defenders can use the same tools to patch and harden code, and outlines implications for IoT, legacy systems, and potential self-healing networks.
