Researchers have demonstrated a working proof-of-concept for AI-driven malware that can identify and exploit vulnerabilities without human intervention. This collapses the assumption that autonomous attack vectors remain years away. The security industry's planning horizon shifts from "if" to "when." Defensive architectures that currently depend on human-in-the-loop incident response and signature-based detection now require immediate recalibration. The lab prototype shows that the adversary economics of malware—cost, scalability, targeting precision—are about to invert in favor of attackers with access to capable AI systems.
