Artificial Intelligence and Security: Current Applications and Tomorrow's Potentials -

Security is a broad term, and in industry and government there are a myriad of "security" contexts on a variety of levels – from the individual to nation-wide. Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies are being applied and developed across this spectrum. While many of these technologies have the potential and have greatly benefited society (helping reduce credit card fraud, for example), the evolving social contexts and applications of these technologies often leave more questions than answers – in terms of rules, regulations and moral judgments – in their wake. Artificial intelligence and security were – in many ways – made for each other, and the modern approaches of machine learning seem to be arriving just in time to fill in the gaps of previous rule-based data security systems. The purpose of this article is to shed light on current trends and applications, in industry and government, at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the security field.
