Schrödinger’s AI: It’s so smart it can build perfect security, but it’s too dumb to figure out how to break it.
If there are actually no bugs, can’t that create a situation where it’s impossible to break it? Not to say this is actually a thing AI can achieve, but it doesn’t seem like bad logic.
Even if there’s such a thing as a program without bugs, you’d still be overlooking one crucial detail - no matter the method, the end point of cybersecurity has to interface with humans. Humans are SO much easier to hack than computers.
Let’s say you get a phone call from your boss - It’s their phone number and their voice, but they sound a bit panicked. “Hey, I’m just about to head into a meeting to close a major deal, but my laptop can’t access the server. I need you to set up a temporary password in the next two minutes or we risk losing this deal. No, I don’t remember my backup - it’s written down in my desk but the meeting is at the client’s office.”
You’d be surprised how many people would comply, and all of that can be done by AI right now. It’s all about managing risk - there’s never going to be a foolproof system.
Rice’s Theorem prevents this… mostly.
I’d guess that hypothetical AI cybersecurity verification of code would be like that, where there are probably no bugs, but it’s not a totally sure thing. But even if you can’t have mathematical certainty there are no bugs, that doesn’t mean every or most programs verified this way are possible to be exploited.
The look on her face in the thumbnail matches the title perfectly.
Based on my understanding of programming I think they’re going to need an extra couple people on the security team because of the Ai’s “fixes”
Who is paying her?
Execs and managers showing Dunning-Kruger in full effect.
I just asked an AI what the minimum wage was in 2003 in the UK and it told me that it was £4.50 and that on a 40 hour work week, that came out to 18k a year… But sure, trust it to write and fix code…
The UK doesn’t have 100 weeks in its year? No wonder y’all lost the Empire.
All these brainwashed AI-obsessed people should be required to watch I, Robot on loop for a month or two.
Good idea 👍
Because its doing so so well now unattended…
One of the most idiotic takes I’ve read in a long time
Because then Security would be non-existent.
The S in AI stands for security.
HAH… FUNNY JOKE!
Thanks Joke Yoda.
ahahahaha
Oh, you’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.
AHAHAHAHA
As usual, the biggest advocates for AI are the ones who understand its limitations the least.
People who say these things clearly have no experience. I spent an hour today trying to get one of the better programming models to parse a response. I gave it the inputs and expected outputs and it COULD not derive functional code until I told it what the implementation needed to be. If it isn’t cookie-cutter problems then it just can’t predict it’s way through it.
