2023 tech predictions: AI and machine learning will come into their own for security

The upcoming year seems to be the time security and technology professionals think artificial intelligence and machine learning will have mass application for security and detection. But just as the industry embraces the technology's potential, bad actors will look to capitalize on the new capabilities that could be unlocked for deception techniques such as deepfakes and disinformation. The economy and how it might affect security budgets weighed heavily on the minds of those who submitted predictions this year, and technology was no exception as some predict new tech and services will be driven by budget-conscious decisions in mind. We're seeing AI and powerful data capabilities redefine the security models and capabilities for companies. Security practitioners and the industry as a whole will have much better tools and much faster information at their disposal, and they should be able to isolate security risks with much greater precision.
