Worms, viruses and "Machine learning"

Question

I was just wondering if, by using machine learning, can malwares spread across the Internet, become stronger over time and become invulnerable to any solutions??? (Just a random thought, I don't wanna see the world burn)

Answer 1

If there really is some kind of self-learning worm out there, then all we need is a self-learning antivirus software. :>

Answer 2

FireEye uses ML in their malware defense / adaptive cloud.

I think...a meaningful step towards invulnerability would require an AI to exceed its container, i.e., grasp and prepare for physical universe contingencies.

Answer 3

Can you clearify the phrase "They can be EASY DIFFICULT to manipulate"???

Answer 4

What I meant was some are easy but also difficult if that makes sens

Answer 5

me too XD...but yeah i think it is possible for them to spread but i also think they can be stopped because if you think about it its human made and human made things are very easy difficulty to manipulate

Answer 6

Fight machine learning with... machine learning. Just as malware can do it, so can cyber security solutions (check out Cyberbit) do it and mimic the malware's varying patterns. I don't think there's something completely immune.
