How to secure critical open-source code against memory safety exploits by automating code hardening at scale
This essay is part of The Launch Sequence, a collection of concrete, ambitious ideas to prepare the world for advanced AI. These projects need people to build them. Get in touch. Summary Critical systems across the country run on software riddled with vulnerabilities. AI now arms our adversaries with automated tools to find and weaponize these flaws. But it is also a transformative opportunity to strengthen our defenses. A major source of vulnerabilities in our digital infrastructure stems from code written in languages like C and C++, which are vulnerable to exploits targeting computer…
