The Implications of Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity: Shifting the Offense-Defense Balance

Abstract:

AI is transforming cybersecurity by enabling faster and more effective threat detection, automating incident response, and analyzing large datasets. While these advances help defenders, malicious actors also use AI to enhance cyberattacks. The dual-use nature of AI increases risks such as data exposure and new attack methods. Continued investment in robust, AI-powered security measures is essential to address these evolving challenges.
