The Debate is Over: Artificial Intelligence is the Future for Cybersecurity

In January Google's parent company, Alphabet, announced the launch of Chronicle – an artificial intelligence-based solution for the cybersecurity industry – promising "the power to fight cyber crime on a global scale." There are mixed opinions on the value and readiness of artificial intelligence (AI) in our industry. Just last year Google's own Heather Adkins, director of information security and privacy addressed the crowd at TechCrunch Disrupt 2017 and criticized the over use of artificial intelligence for the cybersecurity industry. Adkins argued that the implementation of artificial intelligence relies too heavily on feedback, "to learn what is good and bad…but we're not sure what good and bad is." She went on to say that companies should invest in more human talent and less technology.
