**A.I. Finds the Holes, But Who Gets Left Behind?**

The rapid rise of advanced artificial intelligence is creating a critical security gap. Experts warn the focus is shifting too quickly from defense to offense, leaving ordinary users vulnerable. New A.I. models can find software weaknesses at unprecedented speed. While companies rush to fix these flaws in their own systems, they are also using the same technology to find and exploit weaknesses elsewhere. This creates a two-tier internet. Large organizations with dedicated security teams can patch their systems quickly. However, smaller businesses and individual users often lack the resources and expertise to keep up. The result is a growing pool of known, unpatched vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals, using simpler tools, can then target these weaknesses long after the largest companies have secured their own networks. The cybersecurity community now faces a pivotal question: does the race to build smarter A.I. leave too many people defenseless? The future of a secure internet for all may depend on the answer.
