Artificial intelligence has just crossed a new frontier. Artificial intelligence has just crossed a new frontier. Now it is not only capable of replacing the work of a programmer. It can also do the job of a hacker. And with a speed and efficiency never seen in the world of computer hacking.
Apple, whose products are among the most reliable against viruses and cyberattacks, has seen how the AI found a few days ago a security flaw that affects the memory of its most advanced processor, the M5, and its most robust operating system, the macOS Tahoe.
Among many other victims, holes have also been found in the popular Firefox browser. More than two hundred.
The company that has triggered cybersecurity alarms is Anthropic, whose artificial intelligence, Claude, has discovered vulnerabilities in thousands of programs and systems in use.
Among those alarmed is the White House, which, according to The Wall Street Journal, is studying risk control mechanisms in the face of advances in AI in a world where everything is computerized.
The use of AI for programming is growing day by day. Write code with speed and efficiency unmatched by a human. Elon Musk’s AI company has launched itself into that market with Grok, Build, announced on the 15th. Claude Mythos is the great rival to beat. Its creators have recognized the danger of its enormous capabilities and only allow fifty entities to use it. He rejects that the US Government increases that number, with which Anthropic does not get along at all. He has sued him for the cancellation of a 200 million contract after opposing unrestricted military use of his AI.
