As artificial intelligence becomes more and more sophisticated, Palmer told Business Insider in an interview at the FT Cybersecurity Summit in London in September, it will inevitably find its way into malware — with potentially disastrous results for the businesses and individuals that hackers target.
It's important to remember that Palmer is in the security business: It's his job to hype up the threats out there (present and future), and convince customers that Darktrace is the only one that can save them. It's a $500 million (£401 million) British firm, with an AI-driven approach to defend networks. It creates an "immune system" for customers that learns how businesses operate then monitors for potential irregularities.

Using recurring neural networks, it's already possible to teach AI software to mimic writing styles — whether that's clickbait viral news articles or editorial columns from The Guardian. Palmer suggests that in the future, malware will be able to look through your correspondence, learn how you communicate, and then mimic you in order to infect other targets.
