AI Tilts Security Toward Defenders

Large language and code models can now reason through real codebases and surface complex vulnerabilities at scale, enabling defenders (open‑source projects, vendors, and security teams) to find and patch far more flaws than with traditional tooling alone. That capability doesn't eliminate zero‑day risk immediately, but it could materially narrow the asymmetric advantage attackers have historically enjoyed. — If defenders can scale vulnerability discovery with AI, it changes cybersecurity economics, vulnerability‑market dynamics, disclosure norms, and procurement choices for governments and firms.
