“This is the Industrial Revolution 5.0, when AI becomes mainstream. And what you’re noticing also is that every single era has built on top of the others shrinking. [With ChatGPT] in three months it reached 100 million users. By comparison, it took mobile phones 16 years to reach 100 million users, and the internet seven years to reach 100 million users. We are at the cusp of something really special. And we need this in security. We need this desperately because the odds today are against the defenders. … We don’t have people to solve our challenges. We need AI. And that’s what gives me hope and optimism. … These security-specific AI models are going to do what we want them to do — augment our humans. Help out defenders and empower them to do things which were not possible. They’re going to help us simplify the complex. They’re going to help us catch what others have missed or what we have missed. They’re going to help us address the talent shortage and really change the paradigm of productivity.”
