Artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity has fully changed descent and defence tactics. Although AI improves security by more effectively relating and baffling cyberthreats, it also gives bushwhackers access to sophisticated attack ways. This study examines the binary function of AI in cybersecurity by examining cyberthreats driven by AI and the protections put in place to baffle them. The study focuses on AI- powered trouble identification, anomaly discovery, adaptive defences, and inimical AI, as well as AI- enhanced malware and automated phishing juggernauts. Through the assessment of present patterns and implicit consequences, this exploration offers a thorough appreciation of how artificial intelligence influences the cybersecurity terrain.
