Security researcher James Kettle has explored the capabilities of AI in discovering and exploiting software vulnerabilities. His findings, presented at Black Hat, indicate that while AI can accelerate the discovery of known vulnerabilities and even uncover new classes of bugs like Shared-Parser Confusion, it currently requires human guidance for conceptualization and practical application. Kettle's experiments, utilizing models from Anthropic and OpenAI, revealed that AI can generate research leads at a rapid pace, but human oversight is crucial for vetting findings and developing exploitable attacks.
