Google is moving to reassure hospitals, public transit agencies, and technology companies that its AI-powered security scanners are not a threat. The company is pairing its Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber model with Wiz's Red Agent to offer automated scanning and protection for critical infrastructure.
The partnership is aimed at addressing concerns that AI security tools might overstep or cause harm. Google's promise that the scanners "won't be evil" appears designed to win over organizations that have been wary of letting AI systems loose on their networks.
According to The Register, the two products will work together to identify vulnerabilities and respond to threats. The announcement signals a broader push to embed AI into the security stacks of essential services, though it also raises questions about trust and oversight.
