What's AI, and what's not -- GCN

Artificial intelligence has become as meaningless a description of technology as "all natural" is when it refers to fresh eggs. At least, that's the conclusion reached by Devin Coldewey, a Tech Crunch contributor. AI is also often mentioned as a potential cybersecurity technology. At the recent RSA conference in San Francisco, RSA CTO Zulfikar Ramzan advised potential users to consider AI-based solutions carefully, in particular machine learning-based solutions, according to an article on CIO. AI-based tools are not as new or productive as some vendors claim, he cautioned, explaining that machine learning-based cybersecurity has been available for over a decade via spam filters, antivirus software and online fraud detection systems.
