Cyber Wars under the Shadow of Artificial Intelligence: A Future Perspective

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence has provided many benefits for achieving better life standards for people. But except from its advantages on improving life standards and solving real world problems effectively, there is currently a remarkable discussion on possible side-effects and even dangerous results caused by using Artificial Intelligence. In this context, it is also a serious research interest to think about cyber wars in which intelligent systems will probably have active role in the future. Moving from that, this paper presents a general discussion on how cyber wars of the future will be shaped by Artificial Intelligence based systems. By considering currently popular Artificial Intelligence oriented problems solutions and techniques, the paper tries to open readers’ mind about the future with full of Artificial Intelligence and future perspectives in cyber wars.
