Why We Need AI That Doesn't Keep Secrets

Imagine using a security camera that doesn’t let you see the footage. Sounds impractical, right? That’s the issue with some AI in cybersecurity—it doesn’t explain its reasoning. It’s like a black box that keeps secrets.

So, why do we want AI to share its secrets?

1. Trust: If your AI guards your data, wouldn’t you sleep better knowing how it decides what’s a threat?
2. Better Tools: When AI tells us how it catches cyber threats, we can teach it to do better. That means fewer mistakes and better protection.
3. Everyone Can Follow Along : Not everyone speaks ‘tech’. AI that can explain itself in simple terms means everyone from the boardroom to the IT department is in the loop.
4. No More Crying Wolf: If your AI keeps saying there's a problem when there isn't, you might start ignoring it. That's dangerous. AI that explains itself helps us spot the actual wolves.

The black box is a mystery, but the glass box shows you exactly what’s inside.

The black box is often seen as a metaphor for non-transparent processes, and in the realm of AI, it's a concept we're moving away from. Transparency in AI helps us understand, trust, and effectively manage the technology that plays an increasingly pivotal role in our cybersecurity measures.

Making AI a trusted cybersecurity team member, not a mysterious stranger, is challenging, and I am proud to be part of this challenge.

The beauty of explainable AI isn’t just in its transparency but in how it enhances collaboration. It’s about AI and humans working hand-in-hand to fortify our digital realms.

As we continue to develop these technologies, let’s ensure they're not just intelligent but also articulate—ready to tell us their story of the digital skirmishes happening in the unseen binary battlefields.
