Apple has had to introduce a quota on security researcher reports because its systems are being overwhelmed by low-quality warnings generated by AI.
It's a classic illustration of the rule of unintended consequences: a technology meant to help us has become a barrier to getting things done. After all, not only has AI driven the cost of consumer electronics higher, but it is also being used to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities — while also overwhelming security teams with low-grade reports, thus eroding their attention span.
The cost of good intentions
This is what's happened at Apple, as security researchers use AI as a tool to identify new bugs. Perhaps the reports are well-intended. Hopefully, the researchers aren't just motivated by the promise of easy bug bounties. Or maybe this is a cynical attempt to overwhelm platform security teams with low-grade bug reports — while holding back larger attacks for actual use by well-resourced state-backed actors.
We can't know whether attackers really are trying to overwhelm active platform defenses before going in for the kill. But given that it's an actively used military strategy, it's pretty hard to ignore the possibility.
