Artificial intelligence helps protect you from internet fraudsters by accepting and processing huge amounts of data to determine, respond to, and carry out timely cyber threat intelligence. AI security systems can detect suspicious activities on your network, such as phishing attempts, malware, and unauthorized access. This happens at times even before damage is done. Machine learning algorithms continue learning from new threats and adapt to them with increased accuracy over time. AI also enhances password security through biometric authentication and anomaly detection, hence ensuring that only authorized persons gain access to sensitive information.

Artificial intelligence can make errors or even invade privacy. On the other hand, false positives—that misidentify whatever a user is doing as a threat—really have the potential to take user experiences off the rails and cause undue alarm. On the other side of the equation, false negatives—missing real threats—are extremely risky. Additionally, AI requires huge data sets, giving rise to concerns about data privacy and the possible misuse of private information. Adequate protection of data and transparency in AI operations will ensure the balance of security benefits with concerns for privacy. Some of the ways through which these issues may be mitigated, so as to ensure that AI improves online safety without a cost to privacy, are responsible AI deployment, regular audits, and user awareness.
