Red teams are safe from robots for now, as AI makes better shield than spear

Summary

The article discusses how AI currently excels more at defensive cybersecurity tasks—such as detecting threats—than offensive ones, making it a stronger "shield" than "spear." This suggests that, for now, red teams (security testers) remain relatively safe from AI-driven attacks, highlighting the technology's limitations in automating sophisticated offensive strategies. The implication is that AI's role in cybersecurity is presently more beneficial for protection than for launching attacks.
