| Description: |
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a double-edged sword in the realm of cybersecurity, driving remarkable advancements while simultaneously empowering cybercriminals with sophisticated tools. On the defensive side, AI enables rapid threat detection, anomaly identification, and automated response systems that can mitigate potential breaches in real time. However, the same technology is being exploited by malicious actors to launch increasingly sophisticated attacks, such as highly convincing phishing scams, malware that adapts to evade detection, and automated bots capable of executing large-scale denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Organizations now find themselves in a high-stakes AI arms race, where the speed of innovation determines the strength of their defenses. This technological battle raises critical issues, including the ethical use of AI in cybersecurity, the challenge of combating AI-powered disinformation campaigns, the growing need for skilled professionals to manage AI systems, and the financial burden of keeping pace with rapid advancements. The transformative impact of AI on both the offensive and defensive strategies of cyber warfare is reshaping the cybersecurity landscape and demanding a proactive, collaborative approach to stay ahead.
