Now technology evolves at a breakneck pace, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a double-edged sword. It is lamentable that, while AI has opened an astonishing panorama of possibilities across almost every sector, it has also found its way to the cybercriminal universe to fuel new, more professional, complex, and effective cyberattacks. Consequently, it is challenging to overstate the categorical threat of AI-based cyber threats rising within the companies all over the world, so the defense strategy has to be integrated and multilayered.
Ever since AI began penetrating the dark web and other criminal activities, the threats have shifted. These attacks, hitherto, involved human participation and operation of the attack tools, but, the utilization of the still budding AI technologies makes such attacks more automatic, more specific, and more flexible. While human-operated attacks rely on their ability to learn about the target and are hence depended upon their experience, AI-operated attacks can gather huge sets of data in a very short time in addition to which these systems can adjust their operating parameters as per the goal, which in this case is to launch a phishing attack, which also makes these systems smart enough to learn the results of previous attempts and incorporate them into their operating system.
