"Hackers Say Generative AI Unlikely to Replace Human Cybersecurity Skills--Bugcrowd Survey"
Bugcrowd, the multi-solution crowdsourced cybersecurity platform, has published its annual "Inside the Mind of a Hacker" report for 2023. The report explores various subjects, such as the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on security, what professional hackers look like, and the current state of hacking. According to the report, 72 percent of hackers believe AI will not replace human creativity in security research and vulnerability management. Over half of the respondents surveyed for the 2023 report agreed that generative AI could already outperform hackers or will be able to do so within the next five years. However, hackers do not appear to be concerned about being replaced by generative AI, as the majority of respondents do not believe AI will be able to replicate the inventiveness of human hackers. This article continues to discuss key findings from Bugcrowd's annual Inside the Mind of a Hacker report for 2023 regarding the impact of AI, the rise of generative AI hacking, hacker stereotypes, and the state of vulnerability management.
