The role and significance of artificial intelligence in ensuring the security of information systems: prospects and challenges

In today’s digital society, information security is becoming a critically important task, and the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in this area is a necessary solution. AI has unique capabilities for processing large amounts of data and detecting threats, which makes it a powerful tool in the fight against cyber threats. This study analyzes the role of AI in ensuring the security of information systems, considering the methods of its application, prospects and challenges faced by security systems. The paper presents statistical data on the use of AI in various industries, as well as a comparative analysis of methods such as machine learning, natural language processing and expert systems. Each of the methods has its advantages and limitations, which emphasizes the need for careful selection of appropriate technologies for specific tasks. The study also identifies problems related to the implementation of AI, such as data protection, ethical issues and a shortage of qualified specialists. In conclusion, it is emphasized that AI can significantly improve the protection of information systems, providing more rapid detection and prevention of cyber threats, and indicates the need for further research in this area to optimize algorithms and methods for detecting threats.
