   What is the primary reason AI is increasingly used for security threat detection?

   • AAI guarantees that all security threats are detected with zero false positives.
   • BAI is only used because it is cheaper than traditional security software.
   • CAI completely eliminates the need for human security analysts.
   • DAI can analyze large volumes of data and identify patterns that indicate potential threats more efficiently than manual review alone.
