The increasing importance of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation in the digital society is undeniable. They not only improve efficiency, but also the quality of decisions, for example in medicine. In the area of cyber security, the use of AI allows attacks to be better recognised by processing large amounts of data and checking them for unusual patterns. However, the same technology also harbours security risks in the case of automated cyber attacks or when security mechanisms are circumvented and systems compromised using Adversarial Artificial Intelligence (AAI).
The article by the SATW Cybersecurity Advisory Board on SwissCybersecurity.net provides an overview of the fundamentals of AI, the opportunities and challenges for Switzerland and highlights relevant risk scenarios.
