GoKawiilAI-driven bug fixes could dry up government hacking tools, researcher warns
Cryptography professor Matthew Green argued in a widely discussed post that AI's growing ability to find and patch software vulnerabilities could eliminate the security flaws that law enforcement and intelligence agencies rely on to hack devices. He noted this threatens an existing 'truce' in which governments buy spyware and exploits rather than demanding encryption backdoors, since encrypted apps like Signal and iMessage already stymie wiretapping.
