Anthropic will use its biggest, baddest AI model to protect against cyberattacks

# Anthropic Uses New AI to Hunt Down Computer Security Holes Anthropic is letting major tech companies like Microsoft and Apple use its powerful new AI model to find and fix vulnerabilities in critical software before hackers can exploit them—essentially fighting fire with fire by using advanced AI to stay ahead of potential cyber attacks. The company is putting up to $100 million worth of free access to this AI tool toward the effort, recognizing that as AI becomes more capable, bad actors could use it for harmful hacking, so defenders need to move quickly. Think of it as recruiting an expert security guard to inspect your house for weaknesses before burglars can scout the same vulnerabilities.
