Sophisticated AI systems can analyze vast quantities of data much faster and more accurately than human analysts, leading to more efficient and effective threat detection and response.

However, on the other hand, AI can also be used maliciously to create more sophisticated malware. Cybercriminals can use AI to automate the creation of malware, making it easier to produce and disseminate threats.
