Apple told Reuters that it released the updates earlier than planned due to concerns about AI-assisted hacks. From the article: “The company told Reuters on Monday it was adapting to ​the reality that, given the ability of artificial intelligence ​to speed the development of malicious hacking tools, it needed to reduce the time between when updates were first ​made public and when they were put into customers’ hands.”
