AI models are poised to significantly enhance vulnerability discovery, shifting the landscape from sparse sampling to dense sampling. This transition, while ultimately favoring defense, is expected to cause a bumpy period in 2026-2027 due to slow patch rollouts for existing systems. While AI like Mythos Preview has already uncovered a large percentage of severe vulnerabilities, future models may find fewer novel issues as the low-hanging fruit is picked, but the overall security of codebases is expected to improve.

IMPACT AI's increasing capability in vulnerability discovery will likely accelerate the shift towards more secure software development, though a period of increased risk is anticipated due to patching delays.
