How AI Advancements Are Affecting Security, Cybersecurity and Hacking

Artificial intelligence (AI) is, by and large, the newest, most influential technology advancement currently affecting everything and everyone in the digital world. Developers and companies around the globe are engineering new ways to implement some machine-learning-based function in every software, platform and tool out there. It's a rather obvious consequence, then, that AI is affecting security (and cybersecurity) in many positive and negative ways since it's a potent tool in the hands of both security specialists and hackers, in a never-ending game of cops and robbers. Being a cybersecurity professional is anything but simple. IT professionals are some of the most hardworking employees around, with strenuous work shifts of up to 52 hours a week.
