AI made software development unrecognizable. Is cybersecurity next?

AI is rapidly transforming software development, with 90% of developers now using large language models (LLMs, AI systems trained on massive amounts of text to understand and generate language) and completing significantly more tasks, but this has reduced job growth for coders by about 3% annually. Experts predict similar AI-driven changes are coming to cybersecurity, including autonomous SOCs (security operations centers, teams that monitor networks for attacks) and AI agents handling security tasks, though cybersecurity changes may occur more slowly than in software development because security requires reproducibility, or the ability to produce consistent, repeatable results.
