What happens when artificial intelligence moves from analyzing code to creating malicious software? In this episode, we explore the growing intersection between AI and cybersecurity, examining reports and experiments involving AI systems capable of generating code that could be used in cyberattacks. We look at what makes AI-assisted malware different, how quickly these threats could evolve, and why cybersecurity researchers are paying close attention. Could AI eventually create malware faster than humans can detect it?
How much of the process can AI automate?
And what happens when the same technology can be used for both cyberattacks and defense? We examine the technology, the risks, the research, and the ongoing race between attackers and cybersecurity professionals—without getting into instructions for creating or deploying malware. Because as AI becomes more capable, the battle to keep our digital world secure is becoming more complicated.
