Germany's Digital Minister Calls for Increased AI Use in Cybersecurity

Germany’s digital minister Karsten Wildberger has called for a stronger use of artificial intelligence to close security gaps in websites. He believes that AI-based tools can help identify vulnerabilities faster and more accurately than ever before.

Wildberger also mentioned that the German government is investing in digital sovereignty and building its own competences, such as the new AI security institute in Berlin.

He warned that the current PHP vulnerability is a critical issue and that the government is taking it seriously, with no evidence of a successful compromise of government systems.
