AI sounds good and frightening. Most of that is a theoretical issue, for now. But it turns out that AI can help people crack passwords. I don't think it's going to be capable of breaking into previously unbreakable places but it will allow many more people to crack passwords that they were not able to before.
That adds to the overall risk for all of us because now there are many more people coming at us.
