Challenges and Considerations for AI in Cybersecurity

The integration of AI into cybersecurity presents several challenges and considerations:

• Data Privacy and Governance: AI requires large datasets for training, raising data privacy and
security concerns. Establishing robust data governance frameworks is essential for ensuring
transparency and user control over their data.
• Bias and Fairness: AI systems can reflect societal biases if trained on biased data. It is important
to select data carefully, test rigorously, and monitor AI systems continuously to prevent
discrimination.
• Explainability and Interpretability: Understanding the decision-making process of complex AI
models is challenging. Developing explainable AI models is important for trust and control.
• Human-AI Collaboration: AI should complement, not replace, human analysts. A collaborative
environment where humans and AI work together enhances the effectiveness of both.

The future of cybersecurity is closely tied to AI development. By harnessing AI's potential and addressing
its limitations with a human-centric approach, a more secure digital environment can be achieved.
