Topic Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered cyberattacks are not a hypothetical future concept. All the required building blocks for the use of offensive AI already exist: highly sophisticated malware, financially motivated – and ruthless – criminals willing to use any means possible to increase their return on investment, and open-source AI research projects which make highly valuable information available in the public domain.
Artificial intelligence, in conjunction with machine learning and big data models are being increasingly used in decision making with a high probabilistic certainty, close to the human certainty.
The key is to use AI as a decision engine to act as a force multiplier for your cyber operations
