Abstract
The digital world is expanding fast, but so are the cracks in its armor. Traditional security tools are failing to keep up with the sheer volume of modern cyber threats. This paper takes a hard look at how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is stepping in to fix this mess. We're shifting from a reactive defense strategy to one that predicts attacks before they land. We explore how AI is being used to detect intrusions, classify malware, and stop phishing, while also being honest about the risks, like attackers using AI against us and the problem of opaque algorithms we can't explain. The bottom line? AI isn't a magic fix, but it’s the only way we stand a chance against the speed of modern cybercrime.
