An Anticipatory Examination of the Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence in Subsequent Cybersecurity Frameworks to Strengthen Cyber Defence Mechanisms.

ABSTRACT : The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a paradigm shift in cybersecurity, offering unprecedented capabilities in threat detection, pattern recognition, and autonomous response mechanisms. This paper explores the anticipatory incorporation of AI into cybersecurity frameworks to bolster cyber defence mechanisms. We thoroughly examine recent literature and empirical studies to analyze AI’s transformative impact on threat intelligence, anomaly detection, and ethical considerations in cybersecurity applications. We investigate the role of AI-driven solutions in predicting and mitigating sophisticated cyberattacks, highlighting the dual role of AI in enhancing defensive postures and potentially augmenting offensive capabilities. Furthermore, we discuss the policy implications and necessary regulatory frameworks to guide the ethical integration of AI into cybersecurity. This anticipatory examination seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential for AI to not only react to existing threats but also proactively adapt to the evolving cyber landscape, thereby strengthening future cyber defences. The findings underscore the necessity for ongoing research collaboration between AI developers and cybersecurity experts to forge resilient, AIempowered cybersecurity frameworks
