AI’s Impact on Cybersecurity
The surge in artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, accelerated by the introduction of ChatGPT and other AI technologies in 2023, continues to reshape cybersecurity. While AI promises enhanced creativity, productivity, and general workflow improvements, it also introduces new threat vectors. The ‘wild West’ nature of the AI field, coupled with evolving regulations, raises concerns about data security. AI’s susceptibility to phishing and social engineering exploits, empowered by more polished tactics, adds an additional layer of complexity to the cybersecurity landscape. As AI becomes more accessible, it raises questions about its potential for both good and malicious purposes and we have to remain diligent about the repercussions.
