How AI could make it harder for governments to use hacking tools

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are becoming adept at discovering and exploiting software vulnerabilities, which security experts warn could complicate government access to hacking tools and surveillance capabilities. This development may accelerate calls for device backdoors as governments seek to maintain their espionage and law enforcement capabilities.

Why it matters: Government agencies, civil liberties advocates, and device manufacturers should monitor how AI-enhanced vulnerability discovery will reshape the balance between offensive capabilities and encryption policy debates.
