Advanced Vulnerability Discovery and AI

This module explores the intersection of vulnerability discovery and Artificial Intelligence (AI), focusing on how AI techniques can automate and enhance the identification of security vulnerabilities in software and systems. It covers the use of machine learning models to predict and locate potential security flaws, the training of AI on historical vulnerability data, and the ethical considerations of automated testing and exploitation.
