1.1. The E olu ion o Cybe secu i y in he Digi al Age
The mode niza ion o in as uc u e wo ldwide has la gely depended on compu e libe aliza ion which has signi ican ly

has ensued because o ganiza ions a e always on he lookou o hose who a e con e san wi h ad ances in echnology.
The use o AI is no an op ion bu a necessi y in cybe secu i y especially gi en he cu en eme ging h ea s. As ci ed by

sec o s because quick ac ion could help in educing ha m ha ends o esul om a ious inciden s. Fo example, he e

In he u u e, AI is also expec ed o be widely used in he aspec o cybe secu i y he imp o emen s in deep lea ning as

1.3. The Role o AI in P edic i e Analy ics o Cybe secu i y
A i icial in elligence is a p ominen ool in con empo a y cybe secu i y p ocesses as i allows o p edic h ea s and

Fo example, a inancial ins i u ion in Illinois used a neu al ne wo k and made i s alse posi i e a e be 0.7% and

This capabili y is desi able mos especially in indus ies like heal hca e and inance indus y since a da a b each in hese

The p esence o AI in an inciden esponse sys em has been mos in luen ial ela ing o he ime o inciden

The employmen o deep lea ning models in he e alua ion o ulne abili ies has also con ibu ed o he imp o emen

4.6. The E hical and Regula o y Implica ions o AI in Cybe secu i y
The use o AI in connec ion wi h cybe secu i y has called o some majo e hical and egula o y ques ions. Some o such
isks include; he isks which a ise om algo i hmic bias which see he AI models disc imina e agains a pa icula se

and da a p i acy (Noo & Ali). These issues can only be add essed i he e is a need o ai AI models ha should be

Da a p i acy is ano he aspec o isk ha is e hical in ela ion o AI-suppo ed cybe -secu i y. Hence, wi h he use o AI,
he e is he accumula ion o la ge da a which leads o issues on how he in o ma ion is managed and p ocessed, as well
as how i is dissemina ed. In his con ex , he o ganiza ions ope a ing in he U.S. need o implemen da a p o ec ion

The e is s ill some unce ain y in he a eas o AI egula ion in cybe secu i y o his day, and he e is s ill a s ill deba e
