The AI models finding 10,000 vulnerabilities are the same ones China is trying to copy. That is the problem.
TL;DR
Frontier AI models can now find thousands of vulnerabilities in weeks, but China is distilling those same capabilities through industrial-scale campaigns. The US response is a voluntary 30-day review that was weakened before it was signed.
In May, Google’s Threat Intelligence Group confirmed the first known case of an AI system discovering and weaponising a zero-day exploit that was then deployed in the wild. A criminal actor used a frontier model to find a two-factor authentication bypass, build a working exploit, and use it before any defender knew the vulnerability existed.
That single incident compressed what used to take skilled hackers weeks into a process measured in hours. It is the clearest illustration yet of the dual-use problem at the heart of frontier AI: the same capabilities that let Anthropic’s Mythos find more than 10,000 high-severity vulnerabilities through Project Glasswingcan, in the wrong hands, generate an equivalent...
