The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Its
Impact on Cyber Security
By Khurram Mir - Chief Marketing Officer for Kualitatem
Cybersecurity has been significantly affected by the force of AI in the past few years. Cyber threats have
grown more violent since the apparition of AI, but the same technology can be used to hold the fort.
Artificial intelligence has sparked an entire wave of excitement, automating almost every process through
computerization. As expected, the wave reached the world of cybersecurity, creating a sense of both
turmoil and security. Tools such as ChatGPT were recently used to create malware, eventually leading
to increased cyberattacks. In response, companies are relying on AI to reduce human error in their
security efforts, creating a stronger protective barrier.
The spread of AI is consistent and is expected to grow gradually. This means that the world of
cybersecurity will likely be right in its path. It is essential to understand exactly how AI can affect the world
of cybersecurity so that the threats can be kept at a minimum.
