- What: AI is compared to a chainsaw in cybersecurity
- Impact: Highlights the need for skill development in AI tools
SANS Fellow Mark Baggett on the lumberjack analogy for AI: automation cut the number of lumberjacks from up to 900,000 in 1910 to about 40,000 today, and every one of them uses a chainsaw. Baggett's take on AI is the same idea. His specific advice is to learn to write your own tools in Python rather than relying on an app that uses AI on your behalf. How are you learning to work with AI instead of just using it? If that gap sounds familiar at the team level, not just the individual one, that is exactly what the SANS AI Security Maturity Model eBook maps out.
