How does AI impact cybersecurity?
AI is a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. On one hand, it empowers defenders with advanced tools that analyze massive datasets at unprecedented speeds, detect threats in real time, identify malicious code with high accuracy, and automate incident response for more efficient handling of potential threats. This allows security teams to be more proactive rather than reactive. On the other hand, AI is also a powerful tool for attackers, enabling them to create sophisticated malware capable of adapting and evolving to bypass security measures. AI-powered attacks can generate convincing phishing attempts that trick even cautious individuals and spread disinformation at alarming rates. This dual nature makes AI both revolutionary for defense while simultaneously creating new vulnerabilities organizations must address.

Crockett highlights the importance of having ethical officials willing to stand up rather than resign, and suggests proactively engaging with voters across political lines. By focusing on how policies directly impact people's lives—from family farms to Medicare to transportation safety—officials can help citizens understand the personal stakes regardless of party affiliation.

Trump further claimed that if Zelensky 'didn't move fast,' he 'wouldn't have a country left,' implying criticism of Ukraine's handling of the conflict. These statements reflect a controversial perspective on Ukraine's wartime governance.
