Microsoft’s patch Tuesdays are about to get bigger

Short summary

Microsoft is now using AI to identify security issues earlier, which will increase the volume of fixes shipped in each Patch Tuesday release. The trend reflects a broader arms race where both hackers and security researchers leverage AI to find and exploit vulnerabilities faster. Anthropic and other AI players are indirectly contributing to this acceleration as AI-assisted vulnerability discovery becomes commonplace.
