Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity by improving threat detection, automating responses, and enhancing defensive mechanisms. However, AI is also being leveraged by cybercriminals to develop sophisticated cyberattacks. This paper explores the dual role of AI in cybersecurity, examining both threats and defensive strategies. Key areas discussed include AI-driven malware, phishing attacks, and adversarial AI, alongside AI-powered security solutions such as threat intelligence, anomaly detection, and automated incident response. Case studies on AI applications in cybersecurity are included to highlight realworld implementations.
