The Effect of Artificial Intelligence on Cybersecurity

Abstract

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most important and rapidly evolving technologies, aiming to enhance the ability to develop applications and systems that mimic human mental capabilities. Therefore, it can be argued -according to a preliminary analysis- that innovation has the potential to enhance cybersecurity, and its manifestations in AI applications further enhance this capacity. Accordingly, AI can analyze massive amounts of data at extraordinary speed, automate security operations, predict potential threats, and even enable proactive measures. Conversely, AI poses an increasing number of risks and threats to cybersecurity as a result of its exploitation in numerous diverse technical systems across various fields, as well as within various forms of warfare tools, and as part of a wide range of weapons and military applications. Consequently, the dual impact of AI on cybersecurity has made the relationship more complex and multifaceted.
