The Emerging Threat of AI in Cyber Scams

Talking about cyber scams might make AI sound scary, but Murphy said it's important to remember that legitimate organizations use it for positive purposes, too. "AI can be both good and bad," he said. "From a cybersecurity perspective, we're using AI to help us develop tools and techniques to protect our own systems. We find patterns and create defenses that are more predictive and proactive, rather than being reactive." Murphy said many organizations use AI to teach their computers to detect when other computers are trying to penetrate their cybersecurity measures.
