The AI Arms Race: Cybersecurity’s Next Frontier

Within the next 15 years, the cybersecurity landscape will be dominated by an escalating AI arms race, with both attackers and defenders leveraging increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence to gain the upper hand. This will lead to a blurring of lines between automated attacks and human-orchestrated campaigns, creating a complex and unpredictable threat environment requiring fundamentally new defensive strategies and international cooperation to mitigate. The very definition of a successful cyberattack will evolve, shifting from simple data breaches to the manipulation of entire systems through subtle, AI-driven influence operations.
