Abstract

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has fundamentally transformed the field of cybersecurity, impacting both defensive and offensive capabilities. This series of articles analyses the malicious applications of artificial intelligence in cyberattacks, structured around the Cyber Kill Chain model. It details how AI can increase the effectiveness, automation and stealth of attacks in all phases of cyberattacks described by the Cyber Kill Chain model, from reconnaissance to actions on objectives. The aim of this series of articles is to provide a comprehensive overview of current threats and to highlight the importance of further research and proactive defence strategies. This article, the first in the series, covers the definitions of AI and the Cyber Kill Chain model to the extent necessary for understanding.
