Post 6: Behavioral Antivirus
6/ Security software has evolved. Old antivirus programs looked for known bad files. Today’s OS security uses heuristic AI models that watch behavior. If a file suddenly starts rapidly encrypting data like ransomware, the AI freezes it—stopping threats before we even know they exist. 🛡️
7/ The takeaway: AI isn't just a chatbot or an app you have to consciously open. It has become the invisible plumbing of modern consumer tech—managing your power, filtering your audio, and securing your data entirely in the background. 🧵
Even if you say you don't. You have been now for years.

@MartinGuay@mstdn.ca Well put. The danger isn't in the AI itself, but in the way it's used.
