This is a bitter-sweet technological advancement to say the least… With all the great things AI is said to bring, there are undoubtedly associated risks. As artificial intelligence and machine learning continues to gather momentum, so too does its ability to play a critical role in combatting cybercrime. There are forecasts that machine learning models will be able to predict and accurately identify attacks so swiftly, that cybercrime will effectively be stopped before it even begins. On the flip side, artificial intelligence also poses the risk of being exploited by cybercriminals, with experts worrying that it will be utilised as a dangerous tool in executing major, wide-spread attacks.
