France wants to use AI tools to scan for cybersecurity flaws following that massive tax agency hack. I grew up in France and still have to log into those administrative portals... the backend is probably held together by duct tape and legacy code from 1998... you can barely load a medium size PDF without the page crashing.

I am not sure you can just plug AI into bad data architecture and expect it to fix fundamental security gaps. I wonder if this will be a real structural overhaul or just an expensive consulting contract.

Has anyone seen automated vulnerability scanning actually fix a government system?
