Anthropic is finding bugs faster than Microsoft can fix them

AI 中文解读

Anthropic的AI模型Mythos发现软件漏洞的速度太快，连微软都来不及修复——这听起来像科幻片，但已经真实发生了。几周前，微软工程师紧急开会讨论这个代号“玻璃翅膀”的项目，因为Mythos正以史无前例的效率挖出他们代码里的弱点。这个AI由AI公司Anthropic开发，被授权给全球多家软件厂商使用，目的是在黑客或中国等对手利用类似工具搞间谍破坏之前，抢先找到并修补漏洞。简单说，Mythos就像一个不知疲倦的安全检查员，能瞬间扫描海量代码，找出人类程序员容易忽略的隐患。对普通人来说，这意味着你用的App、网站或者公司系统会更安全——漏洞在被坏人发现之前就悄悄修好了。但反过来，这种能力如果落到黑产手里，后果也不堪设想。目前来看，这项技术正在倒逼整个软件行业加快安全响应速度，未来我们可能会看到更多AI“守门员”加入网络防御战。

On an afternoon in mid-May, dozens of Microsoft engineers and their managers gathered online and in a conference room at the company’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters to discuss Project Glasswing. The tech giant was racing to fix weaknesses in its code that a new AI model known as Mythos was uncovering at an unprecedented clip. The AI behemoth Anthropic, which developed Mythos, had given access to select organizations that make software used by regular people, companies, and governments across the world. The goal was to find and fix the vulnerabilities before hackers and adversarial governments like China began using similar tools to find and exploit them for espionage and sabotage. As the group settled in, one engineer asked the question that loomed over the meeting: Did Mythos “live up to the hype that Anthropic claimed it would have had?”Read full article Comments
