this is why i'm getting into security instead of ai

This should not be an either or situation. To me, the correct answer is: both.
no. i can either become a ML expert or a security expert. not both. i speak for myself, though.

i'll let the ML experts make the tools that i use, but also have good job prospects because infosec fundamentals will always be needed. especially if we have product managers like the sibling commenter who is certain that he will have an AI product that changes the infosec world, even though the person has zero background in security. to me, that is even more encouraging about the job security.

also, the herd is going to AI. maybe i'm a contrarian, unfortunately, but that seems like a good signal to not follow the herd, but instead get into something that the herd will need more of.

AI security engineers will be built soon. One of a few areas that should be more automatable as the AI software engineers get a bit better
good luck with that
