AI in Cybersecurity: Regulatory Approaches to Protect Against Automated Cyber Threats

Abstract

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity, offering advanced tools for threat detection, vulnerability assessment, and rapid response. However, the same AI advancements are also used by cybercriminals to develop sophisticated, automated cyber threats. This dual-use of AI necessitates proactive regulatory approaches to balance innovation with security, ensuring robust defenses against AI-driven cyberattacks. This paper examines existing regulatory frameworks, proposes regulatory models to enhance cybersecurity, and analyzes global efforts to address AI-related cyber risks. A comprehensive regulatory strategy is essential for governing AI applications in cybersecurity, minimizing risks while fostering technological progress.
