Google's AI systems that autonomously discover zero-day exploits are now priority targets for Chinese intelligence operations, creating a security paradox: the tools designed to defend infrastructure become high-value espionage targets. The vulnerability isn't in code alone—it's in concentrated offensive capability. One nation's defensive AI advantage is another's most attractive attack surface. Access asymmetry determines whose networks stay secure. This resembles Cold War nuclear doctrine, except the barrier to entry is compute and training data rather than uranium enrichment.
