Google Launches ‘AI Cyber Defense Initiative’
Google, a leading computing giant, has called for an international framework to leverage artificial intelligence in fighting cyber threats. In a paper presented ahead of the annual Munich Security Conference, the company emphasized the need for AI to address the root causes of cybersecurity and move towards becoming an autonomous defense technology.
The company outlined the potential for AI to analyze large datasets and enhance defense measures. However, achieving this level of AI capability will require an international framework that allows AI systems to learn from global incident data and operate across borders.
Google’s vision for AI in cybersecurity also includes advancing secure design principles, promoting scientific research, and opening its AI-powered file identification tool Magika to help detect malware. Additionally, Google announced a new class of companies joining its AI for Cybersecurity Program, aimed at teaching AI startups to grow and innovate responsibly.
This initiative represents a significant step forward in leveraging AI to change the dynamics of cyberspace and enhance global cybersecurity defenses.
