Autonomic Defense: Countering AI-Driven Offense at Machine Speed

Speed is necessary but not sufficient. AI-enabled attackers can generate many exploit paths, and Ashby's Law (cybernetics) tells us only variety can absorb variety, so a defense built on static playbooks, even if automated, will be outmatched no matter how fast it executes.
