With the speed of modern solid state drives, ransomware can encrypt a lot of data in under a minute.

I don't really see the usefulness of this. If you get ransomware, you will still need to wipe the drive and restore from backups anyways. The AI will likely have false positives that will cause issues as well.

Ai is actually the perfect solution. By restructuring the weakest point of any network (layer 8) to be entirely comprised of ai, a company can reduce costs and increase security.

I guess it means one can drive shorter backup schedules. You don't want a backup that's already infected.

You will be surprised how many security camera and door access systems require an ancient OS to work.

Many firms refuse to spend money on replacing such systems.

"Can" as in "It can happen... sometimes."
