AI Convergence Use Cases and Pain Points White Paper

Following the Cyber-SI Convergence Working Group’s virtual roundtable kickoff on December 16, 2025, participants from government, industry, and research gathered to share experiences, technology trends, and future-facing methods to empower the Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity decision-makers. The white paper summary published in December 2025 highlighted that the working group would consider the following areas:

1. Why Cyber and AI are Converging Now

2. AI for Cybersecurity: Opportunities and Constraints

3. Securing AI Systems as Cyber Mission

4. Agentic AI: Promise, Risk, and Control

5. Data as the Central Battleground

6. Governance, Risk, and Assurance

7. Workforce and Organizational Implications

8. Measurement, Standards, and Evaluation

9. Near-Term Opportunities and Practical Steps

10. Strategic Recommendations

Leveraging closed-door sessions, participants agreed to produce a consolidated use case paper for areas that may produce the greatest return on investment for the AI and Cyber disciplines working together.
