Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Microsoft Project Ire is an AI system designed to reverse-engineer and identify malicious software autonomously. Project Ire automatically dissects software files to understand how they work, what they do, and whether they're dangerous without any clues as to the software's origin or purpose. Microsoft's testing showed Project Ire to have a 98% true positive rate on detecting malicious files.
