Artificial intelligence is shaping the cybersecurity landscape in 2025, being employed by both attackers and defenders. Adversaries benefit from fewer constraints, using AI for targeted phishing and exploiting vulnerabilities. Defensively, AI aids in responding to these threats but is hindered by legal and ethical concerns. Experts predict increasing attacks on AI systems themselves due to rushed deployments and insufficient security measures. Organizations must prioritize robust security frameworks and transparency in AI to mitigate risks.
