BARCELONA, 23 DECEMBER — Silent alarms flare in server vaults. CAI, an open AI sentinel, moves 3,600x faster than men in live cyber duels. No medals, no ranks—just code that cracks firewalls like brittle bone. The age of human-dominated security is over. Cooling fans scream in Spanish data forts as CAI agents swarm—each a specialist in exploit, reverse-engineering, crypto-break. They leave no footprints, only patched vulnerabilities and shattered records. Top-20 finish in AI vs Human CTF. Top-30 in Spain on Hack The Box. All within days. The cost? Fraction of a soldier’s wage. This is not augmentation. It is replacement. Modular, tool-linked, human-supervised—but not human-led. The gates are open. Any village may now field an army of digital ghosts. The oligarchs of bug bounty tremble. Heed this: if your defenses still rely on hired hands alone, you are already breached.
