FORTALEZAS E FRAGILIDADES NO USO DA INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL NA CIBERSEGURANÇA

This article develops an analysis of the use of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity and tries to explore its weaknesses, and how it can be used for cyber-attacks. Artificial Intelligence began in the 1950s and over the years several researchers have contributed to its improvement, techniques such as the Neural Network proposed by neuropsychologist Mcculloch and the logician Pitts , the creation of expert systems had relevance in its construction, today the artificial intelligence is super advanced and covers a variety of subfields , among the areas that benefited most from its use is the cybersecurity where it is applied in the detection of fraud, forensic investigation, denial attacks (Ddos), virus detection, and more. Because of its ability to reuse threat patterns it can reduce time and costs. This technological capability that Artificial Intelligence brings can also be used for Cyberattacks, the Trojan Emotet is an example of a prototype attack of this type. In 2017 the Wannacry attack that hit 150 countries gave us a taste of what a large-scale cyber-attack can do. This is why experts fear the use of opposing Artificial Intelligence, which has made attacks increasingly sophisticated and unpredictable. Artificial intelligence will continue to impact the technological security landscape and there are many more gains than losses from its use, and without it in cybersecurity it will not be possible to inhibit cyber-criminal attacks
