This summer, a cybersecurity company called Tenzai entered a three-month-long hacking contest, racing to find vulnerabilities in computer networks operated by governments agencies, banks, hotels, airlines and other businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The contest, called HackerOne, has become a real-world proving ground for the latest artificial intelligence technologies, including Claude from Anthropic and GPT from OpenAI. Over the past year<\/a>, these technologies have improved to the point where they can pinpoint holes in computer networks with stunning speed, fundamentally changing the nature of cybersecurity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But in winning this extended contest \u2014 a result announced on Thursday morning \u2014 Tenzai did not use technology from Anthropic or OpenAI. It used A.I. systems built by the Chinese start-up Z.ai<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The feat demonstrated the enormous power of Chinese A.I. technologies that are freely available on the internet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p> A hacking competition shows the power of China\u2019s approach to AI https:\/\/t.co\/de62ucivxL<\/a><\/p>— The Straits Times (@straits_times) October 1, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>
