Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity. Chronicle. Issue 8

Abstract

This publication opens the eighth edition of a periodic analytical review on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. This series of materials aims to provide an in-depth study of the rapidly evolving field emerging at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. The key goal of this project is to systematically monitor global trends and summarize the most notable developments. In addition to collecting information, the initiative provides a thorough analysis of legislative initiatives, high-profile incidents, and cutting-edge technological innovations that are shaping the contours of modern cybersecurity under the influence of AI. Each issue of the series has a standardized structure consisting of three sections, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the topic under consideration. The first section focuses on an analysis of the incident database and existing security challenges: it examines real-world attack scenarios, identifies new vulnerabilities, and assesses the threats posed by the introduction of AI algorithms into both defense mechanisms and attacker arsenals. The second section describes the current state of the regulatory environment and the vectors of change. Understanding these processes is of paramount importance, as they define the legal and operational framework within which reliable and secure AI-based systems will need to develop. The third section chronicles scientific and technological advances. Each issue includes an annotated list of the most significant scientific papers—as identified by the authors—expert reports from leading organizations, and descriptions of innovative developments.
