Abstract
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into cybersecurity has transformed the field by enhancing threat detection, automating responses, and predicting vulnerabilities. AI-driven tools such as intrusion detection systems, malware analysis, and user authentication mechanisms have significantly improved efficiency and accuracy. However, adopting AI also presents challenges, including data biases, adversarial attacks, high computational demands, and ethical concerns such as privacy violations and dual-use problems. This paper examines the applications, challenges, and ethical implications of using AI in cybersecurity, providing insights into its limitations and strategies for responsible deployment. It emphasizes the importance of balancing innovation with ethical considerations to ensure the effectiveness and fairness of AI in mitigating cyber threats.
