Should CISOs Have Free Rein To Use AI For Cybersecurity?
InformationWeek, Tuesday, July 29th, 2025
Some stakeholders propose self-regulation by enterprises, and existing data privacy laws could serve as guardrails for AI without squashing defensive innovation.
The onslaught of AI happened faster than anticipated, says Brad Jones, CISO for Snowflake, and there is a sense among some other security professionals that regulations could unwittingly get in the way of progress -- especially when it comes to cybersecurity.
'The regulations around AI -- I don't believe the government's in a place where they're going to be able to put legislation or controls in place that are going to keep up with the innovation cycle of AI,' says Jones.
