[AISWorld] Episode 53 -- Cybersecurity in the Age of AI

Wed Jul 12 06:27:15 EDT 2023

Dear Colleagues:

Greetings!

While large language models such as ChatGPT can be used to write malicious code, AI tools are increasingly used to proactively detect and thwart cyber-attacks. There is growing recognition of AI’s potential to fight cybercrime. Ian L. Patterson, CEO, Plurilock<https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianlpaterson/>, sheds light on how AI has impacted the cybersecurity industry, especially how Generative AI is changing the industry. Describing the role of the AI as a co-pilot, he says, "The way I think about leveraging AI is typically having a human do the first 10%, and the last 10%, an AI is really good at doing the 80% in the middle. So it's not a replacement for the human, but it's an enabler for that human and allows them to do more with less."

I hope you enjoy the episode.
