What happens when artificial intelligence becomes both the attacker and the defender?

As AI accelerates cyber threats, organizations face a difficult question: should they fight AI with even more AI, or double down on proven security principles like Zero Trust?

In this episode of Gradient Descent, Chris Riordon, Brett Lucas, Brett Haupt, and Ryan Sheehan debate where AI belongs in modern cybersecurity. They explore agentic AI, prompt injection, AI-powered vulnerability discovery, offensive automation, and why human oversight may become even more important as machines get faster.

Rather than predicting doom, the conversation focuses on how organizations can adopt AI responsibly while protecting the systems that matter most.

Topics include:

  • AI attacking AI
  • Prompt injection and emerging threats
  • Zero Trust for AI agents
  • Human vs. machine decision making
  • The future of AI-enabled cyber defense
