Abstract


The scientific paper analyses the role and capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) in improving cybersecurity, with a special focus on the social, educational and technological challenges of preventive application. The first chapter is dedicated to the conceptual and theoretical definition of AI, cyberspace and cybersecurity, as well as the logical connection of the aforementioned phenomena and processes. The ability of AI to process large amounts of data, recognise behavioural patterns, identify threats and offer responses in real time suggests that it is an important instrument for improving cybersecurity. The second chapter is dedicated to the role of AI in preventing cyber threats with the aim of presenting the advantages of using new technologies in preventing, detecting, protecting, responding and maintaining the security of systems and their components. In this context, in addition to analysing the technological aspects of the use of AI, attention is paid to the social and educational challenges that are indispensable for the efficient functioning and protection of systems in cyberspace. Using descriptive and explanatory methods of analysis and synthesis methods, the aim is to present that prevention in cyberspace is a complex technological, but also social process, which requires an integrated approach.


Keywords
