Cybercrime and Cybersecurity in the Age of AI: Exploring the Challenges and Opportunities Presented by ChatGPT

Abstract

One of the most hopeful trends in cybersecurity specialization is the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) in the anti-cybersecurity movement, which provides specialists with rather elaborate tools to identify, thwart, and respond to newer, and more diverse, digital threats. While AI programs compliment traditional approaches of the identification of cyber threat and other measures, the former stands advantages in the way it can pin-point future threats and act on them. Nevertheless, as the usage of AI grows so does new threats emerge; first of all, AI is hackable which means that it can be used by offenders, thus the threats are consistently evolving exist. In this work the author also described more important role of AI in cyber space for both defense and offense. The FCA has indeed eyed the regulations and governance aspect as being at the heart of the ethical AI, privacy issue and reporting. In order to avoid the situation when security is dominated by technology, and within cyberspace threats are solved cooperatively at the international level, there is an appeal to open, non-discriminatory, and constantly developing architecture. It is anticipated that new trends, such as self-managing systems, computational prognostication, self-healing models, will emerge in the sphere of cybersecurity using AI, however, it is necessary to mention that this field has to be applied at the right level due to potential unfavorable outcomes. Finally, the achievement of a synergy in artificial intelligence alongside human decision-making will create robust digital environments that this author shall use towards the safe development of the new technology alongside the fight against emergent cybercrime challenges.
