Analogy/Comparison

Developing AI is like building a fast car. You need a powerful engine (the AI technology), but you also need strong brakes and a seatbelt (security measures) to keep everyone safe.


Why It Matters

If AI systems aren’t secure, they could be hacked and used to cause problems, like stealing information or disrupting important services. For example, a hacker could use AI to shut down a city’s power grid.
