The bad news about AI for cybersecurity: Hackers have access to the same tools as hospitals

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to be used for both defensive and offensive purposes in healthcare security. A report warns of the malicious use of AI, which could threaten digital, physical, and political security. Hackers can harness AI through tactics such as phishing, spearphishing, and whaling. The rise of AI in phishing attacks makes them more convincing, targeted, and automated. AI could also be used to launch attacks against individuals. Healthcare organizations should be aware of these risks and take appropriate measures to mitigate them.
