Microsoft expects more Windows security updates from AI-discovered flaws
Microsoft says its new AI test routines found 16 Windows vulnerabilities in May and will lead to more security updates in each release.
- On Thursday, Microsoft announced it is using AI-based systems to identify Windows vulnerabilities earlier, meaning customers will see a higher volume of security updates included in each release.
- Hackers increasingly using AI to exploit security weaknesses prompted Microsoft to accelerate development; Microsoft EVP Pavan Davuluri aims to support faster protection and stronger engineering systems.
- Microsoft's Autonomous Code Security team developed a "harness" orchestrating over 100 AI agents to discover and prove exploitable bugs; Davuluri emphasized developers verify findings to make risk-based decisions about updates.
- Amid a voluntary retirement program targeting about 7% of its US-based workforce, remaining engineers face increased workloads; Microsoft acknowledged customers "shouldn't have to choose between speed and stability."
- Data from May shows the MDASH system discovered 16 vulnerabilities, four rated Critical; Microsoft is updating its Secure Development Lifecycle to account for AI-enabled attack techniques.
