AI Arms Race: How Artificial Intelligence is Both the Weapon and the Shield in Modern Cyber Warfare

Cybercriminals are no longer lone hackers sitting behind screens; they use artificial intelligence to supercharge their attacks.

Let's start with the most obvious entry point: chatbots. These little text-box gremlins can handle customer queries, book appointments, suggest products, and provide support 24/7 without ever asking for a lunch break. They're not just helpful, they're expected. But make sure they don't sound like a malfunctioning toaster. The best chatbots are conversational, helpful, and a little bit charming.
