I suspect AI could be trained to do that, perhaps better than being
trained to read English. Not sure if anyone has ever tried.

The info-sec people use disassemblers all the time, and don't limit
themselves to compiled from C and intended for Windows binaries. They
try to extract passwords and locate flaws in firmware for all sorts
of internet-connected things. I recall Cybergibbons creating some
tutorials in November or December. It was linked from his twitter
account, but I didn't pay that close attention to where it was. A
quick look at his blog and youtube didn't find them, but he's got a
robust web presence.
