AI is driving CVE discover up, but exploits not exactly exploding

Of 1,061 vulnerabilities credited to AI-assisted discovery, 14 – 1.3% – have been exploited in the wild, which is the same rate as every other vulnerability. AI is multiplying the number of CVEs, not the danger of each one, and right now that hands defenders more to fix before attackers get there.
