The evolution of cyber threats in the age of Artificial Intelligence: an analysis of how ai is transforming the cybersecurity landscape, from enhancing defense systems to the creation of new forms of intelligent malware

Abstract

In today's developing digital age, cybersecurity sits at the core of every aspect of our use of technology. The revolution of Artificial Intelligence has opened a "Pandora's box" in the cybersecurity realm. Nowadays's AI can be used to monitor dangerous behaviors, and abnormal incoming traffic, so as to predict incoming cyber-attacks using the machine learning aspect of its means. It is because the AI is continuously learning with the help of a wide range of cyber-attacks from the past and about the vulnerabilities that caused those attacks. This research paper dives into the current state of the Artificial Intelligence implementations in cybersecurity, and how it can overcome the threats in this day and age of technology. It also expands into its vulnerabilities and how hackers can exploit Artificial intelligence for their own benefits, implementing it for their own attacks. Lastly, it directs attention to the responsible and ethical use of AI, as it's becoming a more powerful tool every day.
