Summary:
AI as a Threat:
– AI is being used by cybercriminals to create malicious code, target vulnerabilities, and create convincing phishing emails.
– AI can also be used to create deep-fakes for spear-phishing attacks.

Defending Against AI:
– Better AI is needed to predict and prevent attacks.
– Robust security policies and best-practice cyber hygiene should be implemented.
– Employees and customers must be trained to identify and be suspicious of AI-driven attacks.
– A risk-based approach to security should be taken, with regular security audits, backups, encryption, and incident response plans.
– AI systems should be secured to protect against adversarial attacks, data poisoning, and model stealing.
– Security should be collaborative, with information-sharing and best practices.
