ABSTRACT Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing cybersecurity by enabling proactive, adaptive, and intelligent defense mechanisms against evolving digital threats. Traditional security systems often struggle to keep pace with the sophistication and speed of modern cyberattacks. AI-powered solutions leverage machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing to detect anomalies, predict potential breaches, and automate incident responses. These systems can analyze massive datasets in real time, uncover hidden patterns, and identify zero-day vulnerabilities faster than human analysts. Moreover, AI enhances threat intelligence by correlating diverse sources of data, enabling organizations to anticipate risks and strengthen resilience. However, challenges such as adversarial attacks, ethical concerns, and data privacy issues remain critical. Balancing innovation with accountability is essential to ensure trust in AI-driven security. Ultimately, AI-powered cybersecurity represents a paradigm shift, offering scalable, intelligent protection in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
