Be a good AI ancestor: Cybersecurity already gave us the playbook

An opinion piece argues that cybersecurity professionals should apply decades of established privacy and safety practices to artificial intelligence (AI) development before harms become irreversible. The author draws on a case study of child exploitation to illustrate why proactive security measures matter for emerging technologies.

Why it matters: Security practitioners and AI developers should act now to embed cybersecurity principles into AI systems; failure to do so may lock in harms similar to those seen in earlier internet technologies.
