The announcement sounds ambitious.
Microsoft’s AI-powered security tools helped identify a record 570 vulnerabilities. Because what’s more secure than relying on AI to find all the holes. The company patched issues in Windows, Office, and Azure, because those products weren’t secure enough already. This is the largest patch release in Microsoft’s history, which is just a nice way of saying they had a lot of work to do. Microsoft’s use of AI is just a rebranding of “we finally got around to it”.
