AI Models Accelerate Cybersecurity Tasks, Threatening Human Roles

UK researchers have made a striking discovery: large language models are rapidly mastering cybersecurity tasks, leaving humans at risk of being replaced. These AI models are not only speeding up job completion, but also continually improving, posing a significant threat to human roles in the field.

Is there space for critical pedagogy in UK TEL research?
Most funding seems to reward scale, tech, and policy alignment --- not deep pedagogical critique.
What's your experience? Are we missing vital conversations?
