# Embed AI into Defensive Strategies

**Action:** Deploy AI agents to continuously monitor infrastructure workloads and proactively identify system-level vulnerabilities.
**Expected outcome:** Transition from static, rules-based controls to adaptive, intelligent security systems.

Do **not** treat AI-enabled security as experimental — make it core to enterprise defense by training and empowering teams to operationalize it at scale. Use AI to continuously monitor **GPU workloads for anomalous memory/power usage** and to **predict driver or OS integrity issues**. Imperative 4 of the [[framework-four-imperatives-ai-security]], grounded in [[concept-ai-enabled-defense]] and [[claim-ai-defends-ai]]. Caveat: autonomous real-time remediation is an [[question-ai-agent-remediation-mechanisms|open question]] and should be governed with human oversight and rollback.
