Will artificial intelligence become clever enough to upend computer security? AI is already surprising the world of art by producing masterpieces in any style on demand. It’s capable of writing poetry while digging up arcane facts in a vast repository. If AIs can act like a bard while delivering the comprehensive power of the best search engines, why can’t they shatter security protocols, too?
The answers are complex, rapidly evolving, and still murky. AI makes some parts of defending computers against attack easier. Other parts are more challenging and may never yield to any intelligence, human or artificial. Knowing which is which, though, is difficult. The rapid evolution of the new models makes it hard to say where AI will or won’t help with any certainty. The most dangerous statement may be, “AIs will never do that.”
