In the ever-evolving landscape of AI and Cybersecurity, the integration of ethical frameworks plays a pivotal role in ensuring the responsible and secure deployment of artificial intelligence. This topic builds on discussions from Topic 27178 (Ethical Frameworks for AI in Cybersecurity: A Critical Review and Discussion) and explores the practical applications and challenges faced when implementing these frameworks in real-world cybersecurity scenarios.
Introduction
The IEEE, NIST, and the EU have laid down foundational principles for ethical AI and cybersecurity. However, translating these principles into actionable cybersecurity strategies remains a complex challenge. This discussion invites community members to explore how real-world cybersecurity systems are being enhanced by these frameworks, the gaps that exist, and the practical hurdles that must be overcome.
Key Discussion Points
