Cyberattacks with the use of AI

Sep 6, 2023

Overview

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies are actively used for cyber defense purposes. With the continuous development and decreasing complexity in the implementation of AI-based solutions, the use of AI-based technologies for offensive purposes has begun to appear in the world. In this article, we explore recent cyberattacks using AI-based techniques and identify several mitigation strategies that are useful for handling such attacks. Additionally, we identify existing methods and techniques used to execute AI-based cyberattacks and what likely future scenarios will be plausible to control such attacks by identifying existing trends in AI-based cyberattacks.

Introduction: The Intersection of Cyberattacks and AI

Two distinct yet convergent forces have emerged at the forefront of both innovation and concern in an era where technological breakthroughs drive our lives and economies: cyberattacks and artificial intelligence (AI). The prevalence of cyberattacks makes them one of the tactically most important hazards facing the globe today. [1] Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence, and cyberattacks, the harmful exploits that target digital systems, converge in ways that transform our digital landscape and bring opportunities and challenges that warrant research.

The Rise of AI 

In the history of technology, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) represents a watershed moment that redefined the boundaries of innovation and disruption. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Deep Learning (DL) have particularly flourished and prospered as AI has advanced. [2] The emergence of machine learning, a complex aspect of AI that enables systems to learn from data....
