The Telemetry Blind Spot

AI logging scores 1.4/5 in practitioner surveys — the single lowest-rated control category. arXiv puts only 2.45% of papers in detection and runtime monitoring — the second-lowest research bucket. In media, AI cyber defense barely registers. This is a four-signal convergence: the domain of AI monitoring and detection is simultaneously the lowest-maturity control, the least-researched academic area, and the least-covered media topic. You cannot respond to incidents you cannot detect. The industry is building attack surface faster than it is building monitoring infrastructure.
