Human Intentionality, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Cybersecurity

Artificial Intelligence is helping both attackers and their targets – shifting the nature of attack surfaces without being able to weaken the intention of those wishing to benefit from its crashes and failures. Cyber defense expert will perhaps become the ultimate profession in charge of continuously understanding and monitoring what's happening under the hood with AI. Should we expect a digital world entirely administered by so-called "strong" Artificial Intelligence, capable of ensuring its own infrastructure's security and reliable enough to fully ensure that of human users? A true singularity moment in which there would be absolutely no interaction of the human operator with the artificial brain – whether for its maintenance or its evolution. Before that horizon, which seems far away and would not necessarily be socially desirable, the human operator – user, administrator, or designer – will unfortunately remain in capacity of compromising (intentionally or not) the integrity and the efficiency of the multiple AI processes in charge of our digital security.
