Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence research lab this week unveiled an AI agent designed to autonomously find and fix vulnerabilities. Google has several projects focusing on the use of AI for the discovery of vulnerabilities in software. The tech giant recently reported that its Big Sleep agent discovered a critical SQLite vulnerability and thwarted efforts to exploit it in the wild. Its latest product is CodeMender, an AI agent that not only finds security holes but also patches them. The company argues that such tools are needed because as AI gets better at discovering flaws, it will be difficult for humans to keep up with patching. Deepmind says CodeMender, which leverages Gemini DeepThink models, is capable of rewriting and securing existing code in order to eliminate entire…
