Import AI 442: Winners and losers in the AI economy; math proof automation; and industrialization of cyber espionage

→ original

My bet is that most parts of cyberoffense and cyberdefense are going to move to running at "machine speed", where humans get taken out of most of the critical loops. This will both increase the frequency of hacking attacks while also dramatically scaling up the effectiveness of any individual human defender or attacker (as they will be scaled by AI systems which work for them). The true wildcard question is whether this turns out to be offense- or defense-dominant – my guess is we're heading for an era of offense-dominance as it'll take a while for defenses to get deployed.
