Why now
- AI models have recently demonstrated the ability to convert patches into exploits in under 30 minutes.
- The volume of vulnerabilities is increasing alongside AI-assisted continuous deployment.
- Established 90-day disclosure windows are becoming ineffective in the current threat landscape.
Why it matters
- AI accelerates exploit creation, drastically shortening the window for effective vulnerability response.
- Traditional security processes cannot keep pace with AI-driven threat dynamics and continuous deployment.
- Revising security disclosure and patching protocols is critical to managing emerging AI-assisted risks.

Recurring claims
- AI models can convert security patches into working exploits in under 30 minutes.
- The traditional 90-day vulnerability disclosure window is no longer effective due to AI-driven acceleration.
- AI-assisted continuous deployment and increasing vulnerability backlogs are overwhelming traditional application security methods.
