ABSTRACT
In the digital age, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is pivotal in enhancing cybersecurity, offering advanced
capabilities to detect and mitigate cyber threats efficiently. This article delves into AI's role in strengthening
cyber security, emphasizing its ability to proactively identify vulnerabilities, forecast attacks, and automate
incident responses. It also addresses the challenges and ethical concerns associated with AI in cyber
security, such as the potential for misuse by cybercriminals to conduct sophisticated attacks and issues
related to data privacy and algorithmic bias. The piece highlights the necessity of a balanced approach to
leveraging AI, advocating for collaboration among stakeholders to navigate the ethical and regulatory
complexities. Ultimately, it underscores AI's indispensable role in developing resilient cyber security
frameworks and fostering a secure digital environment amidst an increasingly complex threat landscape.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Privacy, AI-Enabled threats, and Cyber attacks.
