The consensus among government IT leaders in 2026 is that AI is both a blessing and a curse: It can help identify gaps in your cybersecurity systems, but the bad actors can use that same AI to get in more quickly and with devastating effect.As Utah Director of AI Christian Napier put it at the National Association of State CIOs Midyear Conference in April, \u201cIt\u2019s an arms race.\u201d It\u2019s not a new idea, but the introduction of AI has only exacerbated the problem.Napier pointed to Anthropic\u2019s Claude Mythos, which has the ability to both find and exploit vulnerabilities, as a real and present risk for governments. And industry leaders say similar AI tools are sure to emerge in short order, necessitating large-scale automation on the part of government IT leaders.He also said that given the sheer volume of what the people working on the frontlines of cybersecurity have to wade through, there\u2019s no way any organization can effectively do cyber in this moment without artificial intelligence. He said that, in addition to software developers, cybersecurity staff should be the \u201cheaviest users of AI.\u201dVideo transcript:It\u2019s an arms race. It\u2019s been an arms race for decades, and the arms race is just accelerating, and I\u2019m sure everybody\u2019s heard in the news about Claude Mythos, and you know, its ability to both exploit, or identify vulnerabilities and exploit those vulnerabilities. You cannot manage cybersecurity, you cannot deliver cybersecurity without AI anymore. It\u2019s just impossible. You know, we use technologies that are looking at, you know, a trillion parameters of traffic on a daily basis. There\u2019s no way a human being can do this. You have to use AI. Your cybersecurity team should be at the forefront of using these technologies. They should be the heaviest users of AI, along with your software developers, because it\u2019s an absolute must now. You cannot protect from your vulnerabilities without using these technologies.<\/p>\n
