Who pays when you gate cyber-capable AI models? In this interview with Help Net Security, Jaya Baloo, COO CISO at Aisle , examines the debate over restricting access to cyber-capable AI models. She lays out the strongest argument for gating these tools, then explains where it breaks down for security teams who depend on the same capabilities for defense. Baloo argues that policymakers misread how attackers and defenders operate, that open-weight models cut both ways, and that limiting access can widen the gap between well-resourced organizations and everyone else.
