Summary
Rapid developments in artificial intelligence could help strengthen defenses against security threats in cyberspace, according to Google CEO Sundar Pichai. Despite concerns about potential nefarious uses of AI, Pichai believes that AI tools can help governments and companies detect and respond to threats more quickly. Google has announced new AI tools and infrastructure investments to boost online security, and major companies have signed an agreement to prevent AI tools from being used to disrupt democratic votes. While state-backed hackers are using AI tools to enhance their efforts, there are also gains being made in using AI defensively to detect and reverse engineer attacks at speed.
