My hot take on # AI getting pretty good at finding and exploiting vulns at scale recently is that bug bounties are going to entirely go away very soon. I mean,
The increasing capability of AI in discovering and exploiting security vulnerabilities at scale may soon lead to the obsolescence of bug bounty programs. This shift is driven by the potential for companies to face unsustainable costs and a devaluation of reported bugs due to market saturation. The future of independent security research and vulnerability disclosure in a post-bounty landscape remains uncertain. AI
IMPACT AI's increasing proficiency in vulnerability discovery could disrupt the cybersecurity incentive model for researchers.
