Great Refactor Initiative Looks to AI to Harden Critical Code

The Institute for Progress launched the Great Refactor initiative to use AI tools to automatically convert 100 million lines of critical open-source code from vulnerable C/C++ languages to memory-safe Rust by 2030. The $100 million government-funded project aims to eliminate roughly 70% of software vulnerabilities by leveraging AI's ability to automate previously cost-prohibitive code translation tasks.
