Based on my understanding of programming I think they're going to need an extra couple people on the security team because of the Ai's "fixes"

Ex-CISA head thinks AI might fix code so fast we won't need security teams ποΈοΈ
(www.theregister.com)
AI might pull her head our of her ass... eventually.
At this point we need to pull their heads out of our asses
The look on her face in the thumbnail matches the title perfectly.
People who say these things clearly have no experience. I spent an hour today trying to get one of the better programming models to parse a response. I gave it the inputs and expected outputs and it COULD not derive functional code until I told it what the implementation needed to be. If it isn't cookie-cutter problems then it just can't predict it's way through it.
Because its doing so so well now unattended...
This is like a landlord painting everything white. It'll hide / seem to fix some issues, but probably isn't the fix you're looking for.
The one thing I will agree with is that If you ignore the AI part and just focus on the idea of having good software that can find code vulnerabilities, thatβs a good idea.
Easterly said that if cybercrime was a country, it would be the third biggest in the world, just behind the US and China.
AI can't even write decent unit tests. How the hell is it going to properly red-team this service?
Good idea π
