Should frontier AI firms fund OSS ecosystem security?

The report argues that advanced ‘frontier’ AI models are accelerating discovery of vulnerabilities in open-source software faster than the ecosystem can fix them, creating systemic supply-chain risk; it outlines Jen Easterly’s proposal for a $1 billion "Great Refactor Fund" to map, test, and harden critical OSS, fund maintainers, and use AI to help remediate, while experts warn about feasibility, accuracy, and possible self-reinforcing problems with AI-driven discovery and remediation.
