Why AI won’t replace your security team (and what it will do instead)

This report argues that AI will augment security operations by automating repetitive, high-volume tasks (alert triage, data gathering, prioritization) but will not replace human analysts because critical judgment, business context, stakeholder communication, and governance remain uniquely human responsibilities; it highlights operational benefits (reduced burnout, faster investigations), risks (adversaries weaponizing automation, model hallucinations), and the need for new analyst skills and strong human-in-the-loop controls.
