I have yet to see how all these Neural Networks work so far. However everything I see looks like a big Expert System with the benefits of keeping insanely huge banks of data unlike in the 70s. In any case you still have to feed known data to the machine and someone needs to evaluate it for the machine. I think it will work well for things developers already know, not so good for unemulated things. Maybe you could train a machine to compare CPU registers between code running on real and emulated hardware, but training for unknown opcodes and let alone coding a driver will be an almost impossible task.
