Abstract
AI-Driven Cybersecurity: Innovations, Challenges and the Future of Digital Trust
Cybersecurity continues to be both a major challenge and a growing opportunity in the digital age. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a powerful tool for actively identifying, preventing, and responding to cyber threats with increased accuracy and speed. This talk explores the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, focusing on key innovations such as AI-enhanced encryption methods, autonomous security systems and predictive cyber risk assessment. It will also address emerging difficulties, including the ethical concerns and vulnerabilities introduced by adversarial AI such as data poisoning, model evasion and deepfake technologies. In addition, the session will highlight the importance of regulatory frameworks, trust-building strategies and international collaboration to maintain secure and resilient digital ecosystems. Overall, the presentation aims to provide insights into how AI technologies can not only protect but also reshape the future of cybersecurity and digital trust.
