AI is already useful in security operations for alert summarization, investigation support, log analysis, and playbook generation. The main risks are sensitive data exposure, weak access controls, and overreliance on unverified output. Organizations should define an AI usage policy, restrict approved tools, prevent confidential data from being submitted, and keep analysts responsible for final decisions. AI will reduce repetitive work, but it will also make validation, governance, and threat modeling more important.
