“Do you use SIRI on your iphone? Do you use ALEXA to listen to music or shop on Amazon? Do you use a robot vacuum?”. If you answered “Yes” to any of those, you are already using Artificial Intelligence in your day to day life. In today’s world, everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence and its implications: Good or Bad. So what is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence is intelligence that does things on its own. There is AI that learns and evolves on its own. There is also AI that doesn’t do that. Generative AI doesn’t learn from each attempt but instead follows prompts typed into it, then proceeds to follow said prompts getting information from websites based on what was typed in the prompt.
Cybersecurity is a field in Information Technology (IT) that ensures the protection and security of systems. People in cybersecurity jobs do this by building defenses against cyberattacks. There are multiple careers in Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity engineers, network engineers, and cloud engineers are 3 examples just to name a few. There are defending and attacking roles in cybersecurity. I already mentioned 3 examples of defending roles, but an example of an attacking role are penetration system testers. They try to infiltrate systems to find where vulnerabilities exist so they can be patched.
With how productive and useful AI can be, it is bound to make a significant impact on multiple different areas.
Cybersecurity is one of those areas.
AI impacts cybersecurity by improving defenses and by making defenses easier and faster to implement. AI can also be used to improve cyberattacks as well, so it has both upsides and downsides.
This paper explores the research topic: Impact of AI on Cybersecurity jobs. It examines how automation, machine learning, and other AI-driven innovations are influencing job creation, displacement, and the evolution of skill sets within the cybersecurity industry. By analyzing current trends and projections, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI's role in shaping the future of cybersecurity employment.
