Reality Check: What Will Generative Ai Really Do For Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity professionals are cautiously optimistic about the potential of generative AI to revolutionize the industry. Recent advances in machine learning have made the potential power of AI blindingly obvious, but there is a suspicion that the marketing hype is misrepresenting what the technology can actually do and a sense that AI may even introduce a new set of poorly understood security vulnerabilities. Despite this, there is a real excitement about the potential of AI to process human language as it is actually spoken, rapidly analyze large datasets and identify patterns that would otherwise be too complex for humans to detect.
