Microsoft Unveils Project Ire AI Agent That Autonomously Detects, Classifies Malware

Microsoft introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) agent on Tuesday that can autonomously analyse and classify malware. Dubbed Project Ire, the AI system is currently available as a prototype, although the Redmond-based tech giant has tested its capabilities in both controlled environments as well as in real-world scenarios. It can fully reverse engineer a software without human intervention and conduct analysis at multiple levels to assess whether a software is benign or malware.
