I just read the ebook - The Path to AI; The first chapter - Pave the way for powerful cybersecurity. As what I consider myself to be a moral human being I have felt perplexed about AI as on one hand I can see the immense possibilities for bridging gaps in communities if used morally (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2mC-NUAmMk&ab_channel=Microsoft ), however I can also see the significant security concerns for individuals, businesses, and various other environmental impacts. I am hopeful that as stated by Microsoft Manager of cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, professional services; 'that with SIEM and XDR’s technologies rolled into one platform, we get a level of visibility that we have never had before.' i BELIEVE THAT IT IS ALL OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT OUR VULNERABLE (which includes our planet and those who inhabit it!) AI is only just at infancy BUT FOR MOST OF US IT IS EVOLVING TOO QUICKLY which is why SECURITY EVOLUTION WAS A MUST!
