In an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, the security landscape is rapidly evolving. While much research has focused on "hacking AIs"—forcing models to leak information or behave unexpectedly—a less explored but profoundly impactful domain is "AIs hacking for us." This talk, presented by Diego Jurado and Joel Noguera, security researchers at Xbow, dives deep into this burgeoning field, demonstrating how AI agents can mimic the intuition, creativity, and adaptive decision-making of human bug bounty hunters to autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities in web applications.
