Summary
This article argues against the idea that manual red teaming (the practice of simulating attacks to find security weaknesses) is dying due to automation. The author contends that red teaming is fundamentally about discovering unknown vulnerabilities and exploring creative attack strategies rather than just exploiting known bugs, and therefore cannot be fully automated even though adversaries will continue using AI and automation tools to scale their operations.
