Tell that to the people trying to break the Xbox One. Took 12 years. As far as I know the latest console still isn't cracked fully. In the past a lot of security holes were due to a supplier not having their security game up to snuff. AI will help B tier security people become A tier so I suspect these Microsoft scenarios will be more common.
Game consoles are basically the top tier of locked-down-home-appliances, because they're sold at a loss with the expectation of making it up later. It's thus very important that the games be difficult to pirate for as long as possible.
Basically nothing else is like that. That does show the top tier of what companies can do if they try hard enough, but I don't think AI will get you there. I expect you still need someone to care _deeply_ to get everything just right to make it as difficult as possible, otherwise there's just so much room for one small mistake.
Inkjet printers and coffee pods machines are other home oriented devices that are normally sold at a loss where official consumables are crazy expensive
The immediate question as to why someone is taking so long to break the Xbox One is "Why would anyone want to beak the Xbox One?"
It has very little in the way of exclusives, and it can run emulators on Dev Mode.
It's pointless. That's why no one did for a decade.
