AI‑created zero‑day arms race

Google Threat Intelligence reports the first observed instance where attackers used AI to develop a previously unknown (zero‑day) vulnerability, and it links other state‑linked groups to AI‑assisted cyber campaigns. This suggests AI is moving from a tool that helps find known flaws to one that can invent novel, hard‑to‑detect exploits at speed. — If AI can create zero‑day exploits, governments, vendors, and enterprises must rethink disclosure, model‑access controls, and threat attribution to prevent an accelerated offensive cyber arms race.
