AI-generated submissions to bug-spotting services are creating “carnage” in some cases, a computer security researcher has said, with a surge in spurious or low-quality submissions causing some services to suspend operations.
The increase in low-quality or false submissions is coming from both amateurs using AI tools as well as experts who are sometimes being “led on” by AI agents, Sophos chief information officer Ross McKerchar told the Financial Times.
In addition to those are AI-focused developers who have created end-to-end scanning and submission systems that are “creating absolute carnage”, McKerchar said.
