About The AI Horizon
The integration of AI into cybersecurity represents a fundamental transformation occurring at extraordinary speed. AI Horizon addresses the critical gap between rapid technological evolution and educational adaptation through a novel forecasting framework that predicts which cybersecurity tasks will be augmented by AI, replaced by AI, or remain human-driven — enabling educators to adapt curriculum with unprecedented agility.
This project uses resources provided through the National AI Research Resource (NAIRR) Pilot, and will train about 1,000 faculty members and 1,000 students across 470 institutions. Researchers and educators work together to identify cybersecurity tasks that can be replaced or augmented by AI, disseminate this knowledge at workshops and online training, and guide participants in requesting and using NAIRR resources.
