Cybersecurity can't rely on artificial intelligence too much, report says

AI is helping cybersecurity but researchers are warning about over-promising. Cybersecurity pros shouldn't rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning just yet, according to a new report. The report from security firm Carbon Black, which surveyed 410 cybersecurity researchers and 74 percent said that AI-driven security solutions are flawed, citing "high false-positive rates", while 70 percent claimed attackers can bypass machine learning techniques. The respondents did not write off AI or machine learning as unhelpful but rather said that they just aren't there yet and cannot be solely relied on to make big decisions when it comes to security. AI and machine learning should be used "primarily to assist and augment human decision making," said the report.
