Security teams then use more AI in response to the AI-driven threats, and threat actors augment their AI to keep up, and the cycle continues.

There are trust issues with AI security solutions, and the data models used to develop AI-powered security products appear to be perennially at risk.

AI-aided SIEM may accurately point out anomalies for security personnel to evaluate; however, an inside threat actor can prevent the proper handling of the security issues spotted by the system, rendering the use of AI in this case practically futile.

Ongoing government-initiated talks for AI regulation and the proposed AI security regulatory framework by MITRE are steps in the right direction.

While threat actors indiscriminately automate the generation of new malware and the propagation of attacks, existing AI security solutions are designed to yield to human decisions and prevent fully automated actions, especially in light of the "Black box problem" of AI. For now, the impetus is not to achieve an AI cybersecurity system that can work entirely on its own.

Organizations can hold regular cybersecurity training to ensure that employees are using security best practices and help them become more adept in detecting threats and evaluating incidents.
