Frontier AI Access Boosts Cyber Defense but Creates Global Asymmetry
A study of Project Glasswing, which gave select US tech firms early access to a frontier AI vulnerability-finding model, shows treated firms more than doubled their vulnerability disclosures and fixed flaws quickly. External researchers shifted reporting away from treated firms, and exploited vulnerabilities fell by two-thirds. However, restricted access created a security asymmetry between firms in different countries.
Why it matters: Provides concrete evidence on how frontier AI affects cyber defense, with implications for policy and security strategy.
