If you take the stance that technical debt is code nobody understands, then current LLM-based code generators are technical debt generators until somebody reads and understands their output.

If you take the stance that writing is thinking--that writing is among other things a process by which we order our thoughts--then understanding code generator output will require substantial rewriting of the code by whomever is tasked with converting it from technical debt to technical asset.

"Using multiple AI agents in tandem opens up impressive possibilities. “AI agents encode the wisdom of senior engineers and apply it universally,” Yahav says.

Looking to the future, Digital.ai’s To anticipates productivity gains with fewer errors and reduced cognitive load, as developers tap various agents for lower-level details. “As this space matures, multi-agent workflows will increase velocity by significantly reducing toil,” he says.

But doing this well will require clear boundaries around product requirements, coding standards, security policies, and more.

In short, AI tools require intention. “An agentic software development life cycle needs the same pillars that a high-performing human team does: a clear mission, a code of conduct, and shared knowledge,” adds Wang.

So, although we’re heading toward a future where developers manage a fleet of agents, early testers should prepare for a lot of trial and error. As Roeck puts it, “Get ready to fail. This isn’t baked yet.”"

#StellarCyber Revolutionizes #SOC Operations with Human-Augmented Autonomous Platform

Security operations centers are drowning in thousands of daily alerts while sophisticated threats demand immediate response. At Black Hat USA 2025, Subo Guha from Stellar Cyber shows how their revolutionary platform transforms this chaos into clarity.

Unlike traditional approaches that pile on more automation, Stellar Cyber recognizes that effective security requires intelligent collaboration between AI and human expertise. Their autonomous SOC concept dramatically reduces alert volume from hundreds of thousands to manageable numbers within days—not weeks.

Key innovations include:

• AI-driven auto-triage that identifies true positives among thousands of false alarms

• Natural language queries

• Advanced #identity threat detection catching physical impossibilities like logins from Portland and Moscow 30 minutes apart

• Vendor-neutral architecture supporting CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Sophos, and more

The result?

#MSSPs report dramatic efficiency gains, analysts focus on strategic decisions instead of alert fatigue, and organizations achieve faster threat detection with smaller, more focused teams.

Welcome to Your #Job #Interview. Your Interviewer Is #AI
You thought #artificialintelligence was coming for your job? First, it’s coming for your job interviewer.
Job seekers are starting to encounter faceless voices and avatars backed by AI in interviews. These autonomous interviewers are part of a wave of artificial intelligence known as “#agenticAI,” where AI agents act on their own to generate real-time conversations and build on responses.

Jennifer Dunn, a marketing professional in San Antonio, said she had a job interview with a virtual artificial intelligence recruiter. The conversation “felt hollow,” she said.

The #AgenticAI Myth in #Cybersecurity and the #Humanity We Risk When We Stop Deciding for Ourselves

Reflections from #BlackHat USA 2025 on the Latest #Tech Salvation Narrative

🤖 What happens to a society that delegates its judgment to machines?

Walking Black Hat this year, I was struck not by the #technology itself, but by the #mythology we're building around it. Agentic #AI promises to think for us, decide for us, act for us. The #marketing speaks of liberation from human fallibility.

But here's what the ancient Greeks understood that we seem to have forgotten: every artificial creation carries within it the seeds of its own limitations—and ours.

We're not just automating workflows. We're reshaping the fundamental social structures that define human competence and authority. When we delegate judgment itself to artificial agents, we risk creating social systems where human thinking becomes an anomaly rather than the norm.

E.M. Forster saw this coming in 1909. In "The Machine Stops," humanity becomes so dependent on automated systems that when the machine finally breaks down, civilization collapses because no one remembers how to function without it.

The question isn't whether these artificial agents can replace human decision-making—it's whether we want to live in a society where they do.

👉 Read my full article below and please share your opinions in the comments!

Are we evolving our humanity or automating it away? What's your take?

But wait—there's more. My next #BlackHat2025 piece is going to tackle something that's been eating at me for years: the absurd theater of #cybersecuritymarketing. The superhero costumes, the merch, the promises, the puppies, the cappuccino -- wait, that's actually ok! 😬 -- and the lies told with such confidence that you'd think #CISOs were born yesterday.

Spoiler alert: they weren't. And they're not buying it. 🤔

"AI at the edge reduces data transport and bandwidth dramatically because processing is done where the action is…always-on” cloud connectivity isn’t essential…

#AI can also bypass round trips to the cloud to enable the types of rapid and actionable decisions that impact us most…#smartdevices that detect health anomalies and a limitless wish list of decisions that can make life better and safer."
