A new AI model from Anthropic is rewriting assumptions about what artificial intelligence can do, exposing vulnerabilities that have been hiding in plain sight for decades and forcing enterprise security teams to rethink their defenses from the ground up.

Full opinion : An AI model that can find decades-old security flaws is now in the hands of major tech companies. Here’s what it means for cybersecurity.
