The hacker in the next major cyberattack may not be human.

In this episode of TechDaily.ai, David and Sophia explore how autonomous artificial intelligence is changing cyber warfare—from discovering zero-day vulnerabilities to generating malware, hiding malicious activity, navigating compromised devices, and resisting removal without continuous human direction.
