Artificial Intelligence (AI) is responsible for technological advancements affecting many diverse aspects of society. Most of this development is focused on achieving economic or social benefits for the world’s population. As is often the case with powerful tools, there are also individuals and groups that would use the capabilities of AI and the related field of machine learning (ML) for nefarious purposes. We will take a look at a few ways where this use of technology has led to new issues and concerns by cybersecurity professionals. 

As the threats to the world’s computing resources increase, the role of cybersecurity becomes ever more important. AI is being used in an effort to develop new cybersecurity tools that are more powerful than the protection afforded by today’s combination of software and human intervention. 

Industrial robots are not a new phenomena. They have been around in some form since early in the industrial revolution. Continuing developments in robotics and AI have led to a new generation of industrial robots that will have a major impact on the way many tasks are handled in the future. Robots are being designed to perform complicated procedures that previously could only be completed using highly skilled human labor.
