Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping cybersecurity by enabling faster threat detection, automated response, and predictive defense mechanisms. However, its integration also introduces new risks. Cybercriminals now exploit AI to launch sophisticated phishing attacks, create adaptive malware, and evade detection through adversarial techniques. Additionally, the opaque nature of AI models raises concerns about trust, interpretability, and accountability. This chapter explores the dual role of AI in cybersecurity—both as a powerful defense tool and a potential threat vector. It highlights recent advances, real-world risks, and ethical challenges, emphasizing the need for transparent AI development, strong governance, and resilient systems to ensure secure digital infrastructures.
