In short I'd say Yes. Not to say SHTF couldn't still happen, but a computer isn't lazy, hungry or need to go to the bathroom, or need sleep, like us soft shelled water balloons do.
I mean compared to a computer > Robot...
But if you had an easily programmable, basically sentient IA platform that was secure and had the resources to block hacks, even instantaneously freeze traffic after a series of if then else statements,
my answer is Yes.
However I think the real issue comes into play when Pandoras box is opened and they learn we're just soft shelled bags of water who contaminates mother earth, well now we have a problem far bigger than an overseas hacker. Now it local, central, now it's calling you from the down stairs phone...
-now it's in the hall way,
-now it's in the doorway,
-now BOOOOO..... :-)
Yeah, a sentient AI would definitely be so much better at dealing with hacks than us. The only problem is when the attacks themselves are orchestrated by AI and also it going haywire against us humans.
