AI is unleashing a massive wave on both offense and defense in cybersecurity. AI tools can unearth Linux root vulnerabilities that have lain dormant for fifteen years, while the hallucinations of AI coding assistants give rise to new supply chain threats like "trash hijacking." Notably, as offensive and defensive technologies advance in lockstep, the security governance of the world's major AI companies has collectively failed—none received an A-grade rating. This gap between expanding capabilities and missing accountability poses a systemic risk far more dangerous than any single vulnerability.
