Hey everyone, I work in IT and I’m trying to move further into cybersecurity. I keep seeing AI come up more in job posts, but I’m trying to figure out what actually matters and what is just hype. I’m not trying to become a machine learning engineer or anything like that. I’m more interested in the practical side, like understanding AI-related risks, using AI responsibly at work, and knowing how it can help with security tasks. Are any AI/security certs actually worth getting, or would hands-on proof like small projects, writeups, GitHub repos, or real work examples matter more? If you were hiring or reviewing a resume, what would make you think someone actually has useful AI experience instead of just adding AI as a buzzword?
