Challenges and Risks of AI In Cybersecurity

Artificial Intelligence is seen by many as the latest solution to a growing threat: the rise of cyber attacks in recent years. Machine learning and other AI applications can be embedded within algorithms in basically any software. Given the fact that today's world pretty much runs digitally, AI seems to be the answer to cybercrime damages that will cost the world $6 trillion every year by the time we reach 2021. However, while AI can exponentially boost cybersecurity, it can also make the task even more complex. AI can be used and modified by hackers, who are always eager to evolve and use the last available tech in the market to cause harm.
