Cryptography professor Matthew Green raises concerns that advancements in AI could make software too secure, leaving law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the dark. With an 'uneasy truce' between tech companies and governments, this new era could see a renewed push for backdoors into devices.

The 'gold rush of bugs' may soon end, as AI gets better at finding security vulnerabilities. Researchers predict that while easy bugs will be harder to find, complex and valuable ones will persist. Meanwhile, tech giants and governments will continue to invest in security tools, creating a cat-and-mouse game for privacy and security.

Paolo Stagno, CTO of Crowdfense, sees the current surveillance system as the most democratic, but worries it may be disrupted. The EFF's Eva Galperin argues that while more bugs might be found, they may not always be patched, leading to renewed pressure for backdoors. Ultimately, the race to secure devices will continue, but the methods will evolve with technology.
