Emerging Threats to Personal Data: AI-Powered Cyberattacks

Artificial Intelligence plays a dual role in the cyber security domain impacting personal data security. It acts as a tool for both the cyber criminals enhancing their offensive capabilities and also as a defense mechanism enhancing personal data security. The review brings out the emerging threats of AI-driven cyberattacks, increased vulnerability of personal data, and possible countermeasures that may reduce such risks. To fight these emerging threats, AI is used for malware detection, threat prediction, and anomaly detection. Another aspect of this paper stresses AI-based security tools for combating personal data attacks that have been highly sophisticated of recent times.
