Usage of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security

In the age of Artificial Intelligence (“AI'') the intelligent machines which have permeated our lives in numerous subtle and not-so-subtle ways, performing all those activities that could only be performed by humans. Countries like Colombia have approved driverless cars in their selected states. Doing many jobs like executing complex financial transactions, facial expression, speech, man recognition techniques for security purposes, and beating the human brain in many fields are now done by these intelligent machines. Today AI is more intelligent than human beings, it could understand the surroundings and perceive actions in a much better way than humans. 

This rapidly emerging field has increased its investment in private sectors & firms such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon who have got into an AI arms race. These firms are poaching researchers and setting up laboratories. AI has gained so much popularity and is becoming more enmeshed in our day-to-day lives and will likely to increase in the future.

If we talk about cybersecurity, then the use of AI’s upcoming technologies can help security experts to solve many cybersecurity problems that the world might face in the future. Many AI technologies can help cybersecurity experts to analyze, study and research more about cybercrimes. One of the most promising behaviors of AI is that it doesn’t rely on the signatures, but can automatically detect those threats and attacks that are not possible.  AI technologies like face, speech recognition can help cybercrime experts to solve crimes. AI’s faster perception power and automated techniques can detect cyber threats easily and can notify cybersecurity experts about them. With AI’s biometric-based login techniques, we can make our security stronger. With the use of AI machine learning, cybersecurity experts can detect malicious activities like malware, Trojan horses, ransom, etc., and can help to protect the network. Along with detecting illegal activities, it can also detect the patterns of malicious activities in network traffic, websites, and all the packets of data traveling across the networks. AI will surely help cybersecurity more in the future, as its increasing demand in industries and AI open-source platforms, could bring many solutions to upcoming cyber-attacks in the future.  

But as we all know that AI usage has no restrictions and nearly all software are available on open-source platforms for training purposes i.e. they can be accessed by anyone from anywhere. So there is a high risk of AI technologies on cybersecurity. 

The term "Adversarial AI" alludes to the advancement of AI for pernicious purposes. The action of adversarial AI causes AI models to carry in a manner that is great for the assailant. An attacker can harm cybersecurity by tricking and manipulating AI’s system neural networks for misidentifying objects due to modifications made in them.

  3. Really useful article, because :
    1. It's language is more simple as compared to other "tech" articles and really easy to get through.
    2.if u aren't interested in such things, this one can make you because of how simple and interesting it is with smooth flow of the process.

    If you're a newbie you can go through once.

Dark Web: Safe or unsafe? Truth Revealed!

  The dark web is the part of the internet that is not visible to search engines. With the advancement in technology, digitization has resulted in different types of attacks. We can talk to anyone as long as we have an internet connection. The main concern is with privacy and anonymity in mind.  A team of computer scientists and mathematicians working for one branch of the US navy which is known as the Naval Research laboratory (NRL), developed a new technology known as Onion Routing. It allows anonymous communication where the source and destination cannot be determined by the third party. A network using the Onion Routing technique is classified as Darknet. The NRL released the Onion Routing Technique and it became The Onion Router, also known as TOR. Advantages of Dark Web  Humans are allowed to hold privacy and express their views freely. Privacy is considered to be critical for honest persons through the different criminals and stalkers.  The growing tendency of employers to track

UNESCO Guidelines on Generative AI in Schools

The advent of artificial intelligence has assumed prominence amongst all industries and various facets of people's personal lives. The integration of AI in education has been inevitable, given the significance and role of information, knowledge production and administration in the sector. This is especially so as its capabilities entail replicating higher-order thinking. Besides assisting in the education process, it also brings the element of real-life relevance, allowing education to be imparted against the backdrop of the evolving world due to the same AI. It tends to have implications on the subject matter that needs to be imparted, which tends to be something that constantly needs to answer the question of "Why and how is this particular subject matter relevant for learning?".  This induces policy-makers and educational institutions to rethink what they need to impart as knowledge, the area of matter, and the manner of thinking to be emphasised. This is because educa

Need for Anti-Spam Laws in India: Comparative Analysis

  Introduction Spam is unsolicited, usually commercial messages (such as e-mails, text messages, or internet postings) sent to a large number of recipients or posted in a large number of places. The spamming activity is usually considered to cause a lot of nuisance and mental annoyance. Spamming is carried out with the help of an electronic mechanism to send unsolicited messages and advertisements. It can also be termed “An unsolicited e-mail” from which the sender attempts to gain an advantage. "India is the seventh biggest spammer in the world 7.8 billion spam e-mails sent in past 24 hours". It’s high time that India has to come up with its legislation to curb the activity.  The author will also argue the need for anti-spam legislation in India with a comparative analysis of various other jurisdictions. Why is it a concern? The term spam emerged due to the spread of unsolicited commercial messages in the internet space. The main challenge is that it has varied charact
