Security researcher Joshua Saxe argues that too few cybersecurity specialists are publicly grappling with how AI's exponential advance interacts with the lived reality of attacking and defending networks and tracking attacker groups. He urges practitioners to be more vocal, noting the discourse is dominated by three noisy camps: those turning the trend into cartoonish marketing shlock, those loudly denying anything is changing, and those making AI claims unmoored from practical security knowledge that ring false to professionals.
