As attackers use AI to craft more sophisticated phishing campaigns, defenders need AI tools to counter them. Speaker B argues these detection tools are overhyped now but ultimately underrated because they're essential to the arms race ahead.

AI-powered phishing detection tools, underrated or overrated?
I think right now they're overrated, but their potential is huge. And ultimately, they're underrated as what we need them to be because they will have the capability to do it. In fact, that tool, as the attackers, it's, you know, it's an arms race. As the attackers use AI to generate vast amount of better phishing, we actually need a comparable tool, in this case AI, to keep pace, to detect and block and mitigate the risks of those. So it's an arms race.
