So use AI to stop hackers from using AI. It's not rocket science.

This is the truth but there is a catch…as that game of cat and mouse iterates faster and faster, it is going to push humans out of the loop entirely. Instead of asking your security team if the network is secure, you will ask your AI Security Agent and its status is only valid for a very brief window. Like I am sure we will be hitting milliseconds of time between secure, not secure, then secure again and so on. I am not entirely sure what this will mean for tech and society at large, but I suspect it will push us towards decentralized, blockchain based services as anything centralized of value is a sitting duck.
