Sam Altman warns AI can now find bugs unexpectedly outside normal threat model

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman warns that increasingly capable AI models can discover security vulnerabilities beyond conventional threat models, including complex and potentially hardware-level flaws. He argues that patching vulnerabilities one by one may no longer be enough and that defenders may need a new, AI-enabled approach to cybersecurity.

Key points:

• AI systems are improving at finding software vulnerabilities, including flaws outside familiar threat models.
• Altman cautions that fixing bugs one at a time may not scale as AI capabilities advance.
• Defenders may need to use AI-enabled security tools and rethink their defensive approach.
