Why We Can't Let AI Take the Wheel of Cyber Defense
"We are currently living through a strange and intense moment in the security world. AI development is moving at a speed that most companies honestly can't handle, yet the market is flooded with sales pitches promising "autonomous" cyber defenses. The narrative is always the same: install this system, and it will clean up your security mess while you go grab a coffee."
"The problem is that very few organizations can guarantee their data is perfect from start to finish. Supply chains are messy and chaotic. We lose track of where data originated. Models drift away from accuracy over time. If you take human oversight out of that loop, you aren't building a better system; you are creating a single point of systemic failure and disguising it as sophistication."
AI development is advancing rapidly while many companies cannot keep pace, and the market is full of promises of autonomous cyber defenses that claim to fix security problems with minimal human involvement. Fully autonomous closed-loop systems ingest data, make decisions, produce outputs, and feed those outputs back into subsequent decisions. Such systems depend critically on data quality and provenance, but few organizations can guarantee flawless data across supply chains, leading to drift and lost provenance. Removing human oversight converts operational fragility into a single point of systemic failure. Absolute transparency about AI locations, data inputs, and authorized decisions is necessary to restore resilience.
