A leading ethical hacker, Chompie, warns that emerging AI tools are likely to make it harder for some human security professionals to compete. In interviews reported by outlets including BBC News and India Today, she argues that capabilities associated with AI systems such as “Claude Mythos” can lower the barrier to performing tasks that were previously more specialized. The concern is that as AI-driven tooling improves, it may automate parts of processes used in cyber security work, potentially reducing demand for certain roles or services. Both reports frame her comments as a caution about the impact of AI on the cybersecurity labor market, rather than a claim about a specific breach or incident. At the same time, neither source suggests that AI eliminates ethical hacking entirely; the emphasis is on increased competition and changing workflows. The warnings highlight ongoing debate over how AI tools will reshape cybersecurity practices and employment as they become more capable and widely accessible.
