The development of cyber threats related to the use of AI

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) means that its role in cyberspace is also growing, both in terms of threats and defence against them. AI supports the automation of anomaly detection, data analysis, and incident response, which enhances protection efficiency. However, cybercriminals use AI-based solutions to create sophisticated attack tools, such as advanced phishing schemes, deepfakes, and hard-to-detect malware. The author analyses the role of AI in generating cyber threats and evaluates defensive strategies in this context. He highlights the need for international cooperation and legal regulation regarding the use of AI in cybersecurity.
