As artificial intelligence laboratories contemplate an industry-wide agreement to decelerate their progress, a different and immediate threat is escalating. According to a report by Matt Burgess and Lily Hay Newman for Wired, publicly accessible AI chatbots are currently being utilized to identify a tidal wave of security flaws, marking what they describe as a “vulnerability explosion.”
AI Security Flaws Surge as Labs Debate Development Pauses
Is this really a ‘pause’ conversation though? If vulns are surging, won’t labs just race harder to patch or weaponize them before competitors?
Irony overload: slowing down AI while tools actively find flaws faster than ever. Hard to pause a horse after the gate opened.
