Is AI actually being used by cybercriminals?

Yes — AI is already used to write more convincing phishing content, automate reconnaissance, and speed up parts of an attack chain, though most offensive use so far augments existing techniques rather than inventing entirely new ones.

Can AI replace human security analysts?

No, not currently. AI is best used to triage and summarize alerts and speed up investigation, but judgment calls on real incidents still require a human analyst in the loop.

What's the difference between AI-powered threat detection and traditional detection?

Traditional detection relies on known signatures and fixed rules, while AI-powered detection looks for anomalous patterns in behavior — which can catch novel attacks but also produces different kinds of false positives.
