Lueck underscored the dual nature of artificial intelligence - as both a powerful defense mechanism and a potential vulnerability that demands careful consideration and proactive protection. He highlighted the paradoxical response to AI adoption, as a survey revealed that 95% of respondents use AI in their businesses but 89% view it as a threat.
In this video interview with Information Security Media Group at Black Hat Europe 2023, Lueck also discussed:
- The defensive use of AI in countering evolving threats, such as sophisticated phishing attacks;
- The potential security implications of implementing gen AI technologies;
- The fundamental shift toward AI as a pivotal force in various industries.
