  Cybersecurity is a constantly developing field and, inevitably, the good guys can’t anticipate everything that could go wrong or be exploited.
  
  As you say – in the end there might not actually be any ‘bad guys’ just dodgy systems.
  
  And there is potentially a problem with some algorithms. It could be either impractical or impossible to know exactly what they are doing or why they are doing it. Often AI algorithms are singled out as potential ‘black boxes’ that are impossible to understand – but other types can be just as obscure.
  
  This, you have correctly spotted, is a big challenge for your generation.
