It's definitely seems true. I think it would be even more powerful. remember reading about nutonian which enabled a doctor to build a machine learning model to differentiate between kids who needed surgery and who did not.

And on the other hand ,similar capability, i.e. machine learning is being used by the researchers to crack TOR mostly just by feeding data to the algorithm.

So basically ,strong tools will be available to everybody, greatly equalizing programmers and non=programmers.
