05 Sep Fighting AI with AI: Tools for the Twenty-First Century
AI is the most effective tool in our arsenal to identify and regulate AI-generated content.

In a recent conversation with a major educational institution’s CIO, the following circumstance arose: a university administrator was hiring for a position; of over 300 resumes that he received, 95 percent of them looked so similar that they could have come from the same person. And in a way, they did.
With the proliferation of AI-powered tools in the consumer market, it becomes both more difficult and more important to distinguish between content created by artificial intelligence and traditional content. As more tasks become automated, AI is being deployed not only to streamline creative processes, but also to devise new ways of infiltrating networks, mining data, and impersonating users.
The most effective tool in our arsenal when it comes to identifying and regulating AI-generated content is, in fact, AI itself.
The idea of AI regulating AI is grounded in an already pervasive logic surrounding AI-driven detection tools. AI has proven to be an effective tool when it comes to sorting through overwhelming amounts of data — why not use the most advanced tool in our arsenal to monitor, regulate, and engage with the constantly evolving frontier of artificial intelligence?
Cybersecurity is a classic industry example of AI-driven tools playing a significant role in regulating the behavior of other AI-generated actors. Cyberattacks succeed by evolving and adapting to increased security measures – an ability to overwhelm a security system on multiple fronts. Those capabilities are enhanced many times over by AI, rendering them much more effective, and therefore, much more of a threat to the security of organizations and individuals alike.
Cyberattacks can compromise the data of all of an organization’s users and clients; manually regulating disguised social attacks would be a Sisyphean task.
All it takes is one successful attack to severely compromise an entire organization. With such stakes, it is imperative that an organization find solutions and invest in platforms that can meet the level of current threats with the same level — or greater — of sophistication. Due to the nature of automated attacks, the most efficient cybersecurity system is also the most effective one.
