I don't see how will ever be possible? There are just way way too many parameters to code an AI to do lateral movement or escalation once inside a system.

For example, even trying to exploit a famous vuln like dirtycow still often requires small tweaks to the exploit script in order to get it to work. There is no way an AI will be able to do that.

Though if you are talking about an "AI" that checks processes running, versions installed etc. and runs the appropriate exploits scripts metasploit already has that in the getsystem command. Though I wouldn't really consider that AI.
