Amid AI-Driven Bug-Hunt Tsunami, NIST Looks to … AI
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is exploring the use of artificial intelligence to manage an escalating volume of reported software vulnerabilities. As AI-augmented vulnerability discovery tools and automated security scanners dramatically increase the rate of bug submissions, traditional processing pipelines face severe backlogs. NIST is evaluating whether AI-driven triage, classification, and enrichment can help maintain and scale the throughput of national vulnerability repositories against the growing wave of automated disclosures.
