The case that cheaper AI could bring software bugs close to zero

a16z quotes Eddy Lazzarin arguing that bugs are finite and AI is making them cheaper to find.

TLDR

a16z argues that cheaper AI could move models beyond chatbots and into software where work happens. In a later post, it quotes a16z crypto’s Eddy Lazzarin arguing that AI’s falling cost, paired with a finite number of software bugs, could eventually bring bugs close to zero and improve security. Dan Boneh says companies already scan their code with new models and repeat scans after software updates.

a16z@a16za16z crypto's Eddy Lazzarin on why AI makes the world more secure: bugs are finite, and the cost of finding them keeps collapsing. "Making comparisons between models from a year ago versus today... Some people were coming up with estimates like it's... 99% cheaper for intellectual capability per dollar." "Pair that with a frame we've talked about before, which is that the number of bugs in software is finite. Then we're asymptotically approaching zero bugs. Maybe we actually just hit zero at some point." "If that's the case, we are net improving the security status of the world instead of eroding it." "This is not a battle of wits where you have a system, I have a system, your system is smarter than mine, therefore I am vulnerable to you... That relies on there being vulnerabilities, and vulnerabilities can be removed." "The primary resource we dedicate to mitigating it is a thing that's getting radically cheaper every couple months. That's AI." Dan Boneh: "Companies actually are already doing this. They're spending a lot of money on scanning their code base with the latest models... Every time there's a software update... Every time a new model comes out, they scan the software again." @eddylazzarin @danboneh4h
