The development of artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing the rules of the game in cybersecurity. MILA Board Chairman, Assoc. Prof. Ēvalds Urtāns explains in Dienas Bizness how AI increases the vulnerability risks of IT systems and how companies can prepare for them.
The development of artificial intelligence is significantly changing not only the capabilities of technology, but also cybersecurity risks. AI models are becoming increasingly capable of identifying vulnerabilities in IT systems, making attacks that previously required high-level technical skills available to a much wider range of users.
About that, in the latestDienas Biznesain an expert opinion article, the chairman of the board of the Latvian Association of Artificial Intelligence (MILA), Assoc. Prof. Ēvalds Urtāns.
“Artificial intelligence has already completely changed the game. These events are just the beginning, and we must be ready.”
In the article, Ēvalds Urtāns draws attention to how rapidly the capabilities of AI to find and exploit IT system vulnerabilities are increasing, and emphasizes the need for companies and organizations to regularly update and professionally maintain their IT systems.
Special attention is also paid to situations where publicly available, insufficiently protected systems can become an easy target. With the development of autonomous AI agents, cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important issue not only for IT professionals, but also for business leaders and every technology user.
