How AI and Machine Learning are changing the rules of cyber security -TEISS : Cracking Cyber Security

TEISS guest blogger and cybersecurity consultant, Harold Kilpatrick, talks us through the impact of AI and Maching Learning on cyber security. The rapid development of artificial intelligence may significantly improve efficiency in businesses, but the technology could also pose serious threats to online security, a report by a group of UK and US experts warn. As AI is becoming more powerful and faster in performing automated tasks, it is increasingly adopted in a wide variety of industries, from manufacturing to software development. In fact, analysts expect that by 2020 artificial intelligence solutions will be applied in almost all new software products and services, which will irreversibly change the way we interact with technologies and make use of their benefits. But in the quest for innovation and better operations, many miss the obvious risks AI and machine learning could bring.
