Is artificial intelligence a cybersecurity ally or menace?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is both benefiting and posing risks to cybersecurity. Cybercriminals are using AI to launch more sophisticated attacks, while cybersecurity teams are using AI to protect their systems. AI can enable denial of service attacks and corrupt machine learning models. Free AI tools like ChatGPT can be tricked with malicious code, posing data privacy concerns in healthcare. However, AI can also help hospitals and health systems identify threats and protect against bad actors. Generative AI can identify phishing attacks and flag harmful bots. Despite the risks, AI has the potential to greatly benefit healthcare with appropriate safeguards in place.
