At the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco, I was struck by how many conversations revolved around the rapid uptake of generative artificial intelligence technologies by businesses of all kinds. Generative AI is an exciting innovation that has significant implications for cybersecurity. However, it's crucial to ensure that safety and privacy concerns are prioritized and addressed through safeguards, feedback loops, and community involvement. Human oversight and decision-making will remain essential in safeguarding the accuracy and ethics of these technologies. While AI won't replace human creativity and resiliency, it can fill talent gaps by automating tasks, allowing defenders to focus on higher-value activities. As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations must work together to promote best practices that enhance transparency and protect people.
