Cybersecurity and the Gap Between Skill and Ability

Cybersecurity agencies warn of AI models' ability to autonomously hack into systems and networks, increasing cyber risks. This gap between skill and ability is widening, allowing humans with AI tools to do more damage. To address this, AI must be harnessed for defense. The increasing availability of prewritten attack tools, including those enabled by AI, is a significant concern. Cybersecurity professionals must be aware of this shift and adapt accordingly.
