I believe Athena will make security needs more vulnerable over time. We will depend on Athena as much like we depend on the computer. Just like our very recent global cyber shutdown, Athena will become a target. Our technology tries to keep one step ahead of cyber criminals, they still find ways to penetrate through to their targets. In time, our reliance on Athena will result in the weakening of human security measures. I am all for Athena technology, yet the real danger is Athena itself.
