AI is increasingly used to debug regular programs written by humans. Because of AI's inherent pattern-recognition capability, it can sometimes locate a bug quicker than a human programmer. However, as of the mid-2020s, using AI to debug AI is less effective. Therefore, in many cases, AI is not a replacement for human talent.

Anthropic's Mythos can debug software so well that it is kept under wraps to prevent hackers from exploiting it (see
Claude Mythos).
