OpenAI Launches New Initiative to Help Find and Patch Open Source Bugs

OpenAI has launched a new initiative to help find and patch bugs in open-source software. The company is using its AI models to scan code for vulnerabilities and suggest patches. Open-source software is the backbone of the internet, powering everything from websites to apps. But because it's often developed by volunteers, security gaps can slip through.

This matters because open-source software is used by billions of people every day. If a bug in an open-source tool is exploited, it could put millions of users at risk. By automating the process of finding and fixing these bugs, OpenAI is helping to make the internet a safer place for everyone.
