The APPL.AI program is a cornerstone of TNO’s efforts, which strives to develop AI that can operate safely in unpredictable environments and make responsible decisions in collaboration with human users[3]. This initiative underscores the importance of integrating AI into cybersecurity measures, allowing for more rapid and efficient responses to potential threats. By leveraging AI, TNO aims to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of its cybersecurity solutions, ensuring that they are both adaptive and robust.
