I mean, just listen to him talk:

Hackers aren’t just sitting in dark rooms typing away anymore. With AI, they can launch faster, smarter attacks that slip past traditional security systems. AI can be trained to find weaknesses in seconds, or even disguise itself to look like a human user, making it very hard to spot.

In this sort of attack, AI can do the heavy lifting that used to take hackers weeks. It can scan for weaknesses across huge systems in minutes, and once it finds a way in, it can copy normal user behavior so it doesn’t raise any alarms. That makes it far easier for criminals to slip through the cracks without being noticed.

That’s why this airport attack is so concerning. It shows how quickly the rules of cybersecurity are changing. If hackers are using AI to get in, we need AI detectors on the other side to keep them out.”

Since I first tooted this, the article has. been taken down. It has been available for more than 5 weeks and suddenly it's gone, with no explanation from WGCU, the public radio station in Fort Meyers, Florida.
