Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of cybersecurity and its effectiveness in combating cybercrime and predicting future cybercrimes. The descriptive-analytical method was employed. A questionnaire consisting of 20 items was developed and its validity and reliability were verified before being distributed to a purposive sample of 60 employees from the Cybercrime Unit of the Public Security Directorate and the National Cybersecurity Center. The results indicated a high level of AI’s impact on combating cybercrime. They also revealed a positive correlation between the level of AI utilization in the Cybercrime Unit and the National Cybersecurity Center and its effectiveness in fighting cybercrime. Furthermore, the findings showed that employing AI techniques significantly contributed to predicting future cybercrimes, demonstrating a positive effect of AI implementation in cybersecurity on cybercrime forecasting. Based on these results, it is recommended to adopt a comprehensive national institutional strategy to enhance AI deployment in cybersecurity operations. This strategy should focus on continuously updating digital infrastructure, developing intelligent systems, integrating AI into daily operational processes, and establishing clear regulatory frameworks to ensure the safe and ethical use of these technologies within security institutions.
