Since computers first became useful tools, there has been malware to infect them. In the nearly 50 years since the first virus emerged, cyber-criminals have become smarter and sneakier, developing more powerful and less detectable methods of entering devices and stealing information. Fortunately, cyber-defenses have also improved in that time. Now, every day brings an improvement to one side or the other, and both sides' weaponry has become so efficient that any slight edge seems significant. Unfortunately, a problem is developing -- a problem that will undoubtedly impact all aspects of modern civilization, but cyber security first: artificial intelligence. Machines that can gather data, analyze it for trends, and make accurate predictions are undeniably formidable tools, especially in the fast-paced cybersecurity war.
