Last month, a 120-page United States executive order laid out the Biden administration's plans to oversee companies that develop artificial intelligence technologies and directives for how the federal government should expand its adoption of AI. At its core, though, the document focused heavily on AI-related security issues--both finding and fixing vulnerabilities in AI products and developing defenses against potential cybersecurity attacks fueled by AI. As with any executive order, the rub is in how a sprawling and abstract document will be turned into concrete action. Today, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) will announce a "Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence" that lays out its plan for implementing the order. CISA divides its plans to tackle AI cybersecurity and critical infrastructure-related topics into five buckets.

Cybersecurity is a topic that reverberates throughout every sector of business. According to a recent report by Accenture, cyberattacks could cost businesses over $5.2 trillion in the form of lost revenue and additional expenses. The entry of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought with it some solutions, but also newer threats that did not exist a while back. In this article, we will look at the bittersweet relationship between AI and cybersecurity and what can be done about it. Artificial intelligence is the development and theory of computer systems that enable them to handle tasks that usually require human intelligence.
