- What: Discussion on AI's role in vulnerability discovery
- Impact: Highlights the evolving landscape of security research and threat detection
According to Anthropic, their Claude Mythos model found thousands of zero-day exploits across every major operating system and web browser. The conversation since the announcement has been split between dismissing it as marketing and treating it as the end of the world. Neither captures what is actually happening. In this livestream, Ed Skoudis opens with what is real and what is hype based on 15 months of hands-on experience using AI models for vulnerability discovery. Chris Elgee demonstrates the AI-assisted discovery-to-exploit pipeline live on screen using a current model against actual vulnerable code. Joshua Wright closes with the industry implications: why the next 12 months may see accelerated attacks, and why the years beyond that could be the safest in software history.
