Should we give AI the key to our security? Access AI

The cyber security industry is a good example of a field where artificial intelligence (AI) is both being looked to as a near-magical perfect solution while also already being deployed in a practical way every day. But can we trust it? The cyber world is notoriously unbalanced, with the hostile attackers having their pick of thousands of vulnerabilities to launch their strikes, along with deploying an ever-increasing arsenal of tools to evade detection once they have breached a system. While they only have to be successful once, the security teams tasked with defending a system have to stop every attack, every time. The inhuman speed and power of an advanced AI would be able to tip these scales at last, levelling the playing field for the security practitioners who are constantly on the back foot.
