AI has potential to revolutionize cybersecurity through tasks like spam filtering and threat detection, however, it also introduces new risks. For instance, AI can create convincing deepfakes and phishing emails, making it harder for users to identify genuine communications. There are also increased risks from AI-generated code vulnerabilities. To mitigate these risks, a human-in-the-loop approach is recommended, and the focus should be on overall risk mitigation rather than relying solely on AI.
