To catch a human, you need a human

To catch a human, you need a human

Some experts or cyber news sources are loud about AI overtaking cyber security and the specialists losing their jobs in 10 years. 

As long as AI would be more efficient than security specialists, I would definitely be OK with this ending, but it will never happen. Ever.

Why?

The field of cyber security was born as an outcome of humans exploiting weaknesses found in any kind of IT systems and the need to defend them. If you agree that IT systems will always have vulnerabilities, you realize that AI cannot resolve this problem, so you will always need a human to catch a human.

Critical vulnerabilities cannot be resolved by AI

We already have Burp or Qualys that are using AI and efficiently finding vulnerabilities.

But the real question is.

Will AI ever be able to create software without vulnerabilities? Like any other thing "living" in our Universe, perfection is utopia. There is no human, other being or other physical object invulnerable to death or destruction. Software is not an exception.

The most precious vulnerabilities used by APT groups are manually found & exploited by hackers. AI will be blind to this kind of exploits.

Only chance to have them discovered on the defence side will be to have other humans.
