A Comprehensive Review on Operational Uses, Risk and Future Trends of AI Cyber Defensive Mechanisms against Advanced AI-Generated Malicious Threats

Abstract

The use of Artificial intelligence in Cyber defensive Security is growing day by day. At the same time, the Cyber terrorism unit(CTU) is growing more advanced by the use of AI generated malicious tools and techniques. The rapid advancement of Artificial intelligence has led to emergence of AI generated malicious threats including polymorphic malware, adversarial attacks, AI social engineering and AI ransomware etc. To counter this risk, organizations are increasingly adopting the use of AI-Power defensive mechanisms. Generative AI(GAI) can provide organizations an additional layer of defence against increasing AI generated sophisticated attacks. In this article, we have discussed the challenge of using AI integrated defensive security against the more advanced hackers or malicious actors. The study organizes AI - Related threats into two main categories: the first AI components such as algorithms, frameworks and data the second one is malicious activity of AI such as large scale cyber attacks .By analyzing these challenges , the work support a threat-informed defense strategy through risk assessment approaches tailored for AI security.
