There are of course many benefits with AI-powered cybersecurity but the more benefits and innovations it gets, the more innovated cybercrime and cybercriminals get as tools with AI-powered technology will be used in cybercrime since the principals are relativity the same between cybersecurity and cybercrime. AI-powered cybercrime will be difficult to combat as they would use AI to create more sophisticated attacks, essentially being harder to shield from. Attackers can also use AI to exploit weaknesses in AI-powered cybersecurity. (CE Noticias, 2024) Data Breaches would also happen more often with AI-powered technology due to the fact that AI systems rely on huge amounts of data, and if this data is not properly maintained, it could potentially be targeted by cybercriminals. No matter how innovative AI-powered cybersecurity gets, cybercrime will also increase as they will use AI-powered algorithms to attack and steal sensitive information. AI-powered technology will need to constantly update and advance their security just like how it is normally. “The potential for developing AI cyber security systems” (Murphy 2024) is only going to increase further and further.
