Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Posthumanism: A Convergence of Frontiers?

The relationship between cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and posthumanism provides an intriguing look ahead for society. These topics cover the possibilities and dangers of our digital lives, emphasizing our transition from natural entities to beings closely linked with technology. As technology advances at an accelerating pace, it’s essential to grasp not only its potential but also its effects on our identity, safety, and destiny.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence: Balancing Innovation and Responsibility

This is an extended article based on the book Intelligence, from Natural Origins to Artificial Frontiers – Human Intelligence vs. Artificial Intelligence (Sfetcu 2024). As AI systems evolve and become more pervasive in our daily lives, the ethical considerations surrounding their development, deployment, and impact have come to the forefront. The ethics of artificial intelligence span a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from privacy and bias to accountability and the societal consequences of automation. This article delves into these ethical dimensions, highlighting the importance of adopting a balanced approach that encourages innovation while protecting human values and rights.

Threats of Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence enables automated decision-making and facilitates many aspects of daily life, bringing with it improvements in operations and numerous other benefits. However, AI systems face numerous cybersecurity threats, and AI itself needs to be secured, as cases of malicious attacks have already been reported, e.g. AI techniques and AI-based systems can lead to unexpected results and can be modified to manipulate expected results. Therefore, it is essential to understand the AI threat landscape and to have a common and unifying basis for understanding the potential of threats and consequently to perform specific risk assessments. The latter will support the implementation of targeted and proportionate security measures and controls to counter AI-related threats. This article explores the potential threats posed by AI in cybersecurity and discusses the implications for individuals, organizations, and society at large.
