Vendors will build – are building – AIs to take on the day-to-day. This, while fantastically difficult, is still
the easy part. The hard part is convincing organizations – and certainly individual administrators within
those organizations – to give AIs that kind of power. The jump from basic BDCA tools and suggest-o-
tron ML agents all the way to AIs which make judgment calls about which policies to craft and apply is,
psychologically at least, a pretty big deal. To say nothing of the legal and regulatory implications.

In the end, the latest strains of malware or who is hacking whom is not the problem. The problem – the
real problem – is architecture at scale. What is needed are the tools to take the intelligent, experienced,
and capable IT staff that organizations already have and empower them to operate at that level. The
robots can handle the rest.
