What is CAI (Cyber-Augmented Intelligence)?

When we talk about artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, very different concepts are often grouped under the same label.

CAI — Cyber-Augmented Intelligence — is not autonomous AI, and it is not meant to replace human decision-making.

In CAI-EXPERT-LAB, CAI is understood as an approach in which artificial intelligence is used to support and strengthen human judgment, not to override it.
Humans remain the final decision authority, especially in high-risk, security-critical, or governance-sensitive contexts.

In this approach:

AI supports analysis, correlation, and insight generation

Decisions remain clearly bound to human responsibility

Governance, integrity, and control boundaries are defined by design

CAI is not about speed at any cost.
It is about trust, evidence, and responsibility in environments where mistakes have real consequences.

This distinction becomes increasingly important as AI systems grow more capable — and more opaque.
