Yes but at least with cybersecurity it does not only benefit attackers. Defenders also benefit greatly from AI.

There is the worry of the old saying "they (the attackers) only have to succeed once to win, we (the defenders) only have to fail once to lose.". In that sense there is a big imbalance, but the emergence of AI does not really affect that because it strengthens both sides.

With physical security like things like pipe bombs that's a lot more imbalanced.

However what can we do? The only effective measures include monitoring everyone which is not a solution because it will make the world not worth living in.
