AI & Cybersecurity Writing: What Tools Do You Use?
News trends rise and fall, shifting faster than weather patterns. Depending on where you live, it seems a new flavor of the week (or day, in the modern era) bombards you from all angles.
Two enduring topics, though, fill global headlines these days: cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. No matter which direction you turn, you’re bound to bump into the news of another cyber incident and another AIWhat is AI? Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by computers in an aim to mimic or exceed human cognitive abilities across a range of domains.... tool.
Of course, this is all excellent news for cybersecurity marketers. Seemingly endless content, for better or worse, for cyber topics, and a new suite of tools to make life easier. But when it comes to AI and cybersecurity writing tools: which ones should you chose?
The Age of AI
The age of AI is here, and it’s not without its controversies. For all the posts touting hacks to make life easier, there are equal warnings from would-be soothsayers about the threat of artificial general intelligence (AGI). The doom and gloom about reaching singularity – that moment when AI becomes self-aware and can make decisions for itself – goes hand in hand with the excitement about how the tech can take daily tasks off our hands.
Gratefully, those concerned about the long-term future of AI haven’t deterred innovators from creating a variety of tools and making them accessible to those who may benefit – many even free of charge.
Artificial Assistance
At this stage, the AI crowd-pleasers are tools for fun (like AI-generated art) or making life easier and more productive (like chatbots and virtual assistants). It’s the era of working smarter, not harder, and these new tools are helping people reclaim minutes and hours of their work week.
