To be frank, AI/ML is a good add-on to the security aspects, but the hype created is way too much! It will definitely contribute to various aspects but selling it in the manner it is being done today does not give the true picture.

Its really overhyped because at the end of the day what you see still needs to make sense in the larger context and you need to understand. On it's own AI/ML adds only limited amount of value.

It's a game changer when peered with a team of experts.

It's overhyped if it's just on its own.
