Historically, causing serious harm required deep expertise; AI now decouples the two, enabling people with no technical background to autonomously hack systems, deploy ransomware, or create other damage. Guardrails from major AI companies won't hold because open-source models without restrictions will proliferate like script kiddie tools. The same knowledge that enables AI to find and fix vulnerabilities also enables attacks, making restriction impossible. Schneier concludes that AI must be harnessed for defense — detecting vulnerabilities, monitoring behavior, and responding faster — and that the urgency of long-standing security advice has dramatically increased even if the advice itself hasn't changed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
