Abstract: 
The rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has led to the emergence of new and complex cyber threats. These threats rely on AI capabilities to target digital systems and infrastructures with greater precision and efficiency, making them more difficult to detect and counter. AI is being used to develop automated cyber-attacks, such as malware that can adapt and learn from its digital environment. Conversely, AI is also employed to enhance cyber security by enabling early threat detection, analyzing suspicious behaviors, and providing rapid responses to hacking incidents.
Based on the above, the research idea we intend to present at this article on how to achieve a balance between leveraging AI technologies to protect digital systems and the growing risks associated with using these technologies to develop more sophisticated cyber-attacks.
Research Methodologies: The study requires employing both the descriptive-analytical and inferential methodologies.
