The use of AI systems with malware
AI systems can both help combat and potentially increase the likelihood of malware incidents, depending on their use.
On the one hand, AI is increasingly being used in cybersecurity solutions to detect and prevent malware attacks. ML, a subset of AI, can be used to recognize patterns and anomalies that suggest malicious activity, making it easier to identify and mitigate threats in real time. 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. AI can also be used to create polymorphic malware, which changes its code as it spreads, making it harder to detect. Additionally, AI can be used to analyze the...
