AI Transforms Vulnerability Discovery And Defense

Artificial intelligence is reshaping cybersecurity as models increasingly identify and exploit software vulnerabilities, Bruce Schneier reports, with some systems finding zero-day flaws faster than human teams. The article outlines technical advances—neural networks, reinforcement-learning fuzzing—and highlights dual-use risks, vendor investment in defensive AI, and regulatory challenges. Organizations must accelerate defensive tooling, workforce retraining, and international coordination to manage this growing asymmetry.
