"USask Cybersecurity Expert Weighs in on AI Benefits and Risks"
According to Dr. Natalia Stakhanova, a cybersecurity researcher and expert at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), there are two ways to look at Artificial Intelligence (AI) from a security standpoint. She emphasizes that while AI appears to enable more efficient data exploitation, it also has the potential to be used for defense. When people use a social media account to store data, that data is stored on the company's computer systems, which are usually designed to be secure. However, most of these computer systems are vulnerable to clever hacks that could jeopardize data security. AI can be used to find ways to attack secure systems, but the technology should be able to provide a way for individuals or businesses to test and defend the security of their systems. This article continues to discuss Dr. Stakhanova's insights on the benefits and risks of AI.
