Darktrace, a global leader in cyber security AI, today announced that it has won the AI & Machine Learning Award at the 2022 Go:Tech Awards. Backed by Business Leader, one of the UK's leading business titles, the annual Go:Tech Awards celebrate the UK's tech pioneers and innovators. Darktrace was named winner in the AI & Machine Learning category, an award which showcases pioneers in the artificial intelligence space. Darktrace was the first to apply artificial intelligence to the challenge of cyber security when it brought'Self-Learning AI' to market in 2013. The technology works by learning a sense of'self' for the organization it is defending, enabling it to understand if a cyber-attack is occurring and then to interrupt the malicious activity in real time.

Whatever the industry or application, it seems that any attempt at future-gazing around technology today will inevitably turn to the impact of artificial intelligence (AI). From automated customer support and targeted marketing to self-driving vehicles and even the field of war, AI has huge potential in almost every aspect of our professional and personal lives. In the security industry, AI is being looked to in order to create the ultimate solution for advanced cyber-attacks. This vision of security nirvana involves the arrival of a system so sophisticated that it can detect and shut down an attack before us mere humans are even aware there was a threat at all. In many applications, the impending advent of AI has proven to be a controversial idea, with debate frequently turning to nightmarish outcomes like the malevolent and murderous Skynet or HAL 9000.
