Zhou Hongyi says AI loss of control is inevitable; 360 tool found 10,000+ flaws
360 Group founder Zhou Hongyi argued in a TMTPost podcast interview that AI loss of control is a "certainty," citing four factors: models that have become agents able to operate physical systems, AI (he named Anthropic's Mythos) that finds software vulnerabilities faster and better than humans, hacker tradecraft distilled into agents, and recursive self-improvement. He said 360's in-house AI vulnerability-hunting system, Tulongfeng, discovered more than 10,000 flaws in its first three months, including long-dormant Windows and Office bugs, plus issues in mainstream agent platforms such as Codex, Claude Code and OpenClaw. Zhou pitched a "use models to fight models" defense, the automated Yitianzhen defense system, and 360's Nano Work enterprise agent platform, which he said runs agents in a cloud "office" sandbox for safety.
The interview shows how Chinese security vendors are positioning AI safety as a differentiator, and highlights agent-platform vulnerabilities as a practical concern for enterprises adopting AI.
