Artificial intelligence for cybersecurity: opportunities and challenges in digital security

Abstract

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence is changing the cybersecurity landscape. In this essay, the author examines the potential and critical issues surrounding the relationship between AI and cybersecurity. As threats become more sophisticated, tools are being developed to counter them, including predictive analysis, real-time identification of attack patterns, and automated responses to security incidents. Other considerations when using AI include privacy, personal data protection and algorithmic bias. Finally, the essay will analyze ideas for guaranteeing citizens' rights and minimizing risks, such as the adoption of oversight mechanisms and 'differential privacy' techniques. Ultimately, the success of AI in cybersecurity depends on all stakeholders' ability to protect systems, with a particular focus on privacy and fundamental rights.
