Study of usage of Artificial Intelligence in the context of Cyber Warfare
Keywords:
Inteligência Artificial; Guerra Cibernética; Aplicação., Artificial Intelligence; Cyber War; Application.Abstract
Continuous advances in the Information and
Communication Technology sector imply the
emergence of new challenges for Cyber Warfare.
This article focuses on the application of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in Cyber Warfare offensive
operations. Through a literature review, the
geopolitical context of the development of
artificial intelligence in countries like China, the
United States, India and Russia was presented
and analyzed. As a result of this research, we
envision the presentation of possible scenarios
of cyber attacks based on AI. Finally, it was
possible to identify evidence of a new posture by
Brazil in the development of AI, as well as
recommendations to guarantee the continuous
progress of the Brazilian government in the use
of AI.
