Cybersecurity Perspective

Cybersecurity research is intensely focused on leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance defenses and understand evolving threats. Current efforts concentrate on applying machine learning algorithms, including deep learning models like convolutional neural networks, transformers, and generative adversarial networks, to tasks such as intrusion detection, phishing website identification, and vulnerability analysis. This work is crucial for improving the security of diverse systems, from individual computers to critical infrastructure, and for developing more robust and adaptable security measures against increasingly sophisticated attacks. The integration of AI also necessitates research into ethical considerations, explainability of AI-driven security decisions, and the potential for AI itself to become a target for malicious actors.
