Bitcoin Core changes bug disclosure rules as AI finds flaws faster

Bitcoin Core developers merged a policy change that ends the embargo for vulnerabilities a chatbot could independently rediscover. The move follows a summer where AI tools identified hundreds of bitcoin bugs before human developers did. Why it matters: As AI becomes more capable of finding code weaknesses, open-source projects like Bitcoin Core may need to rethink how they balance security research with public disclosure.

How do you think AI will change the way open-source projects handle security research?
