The European Commission has presented a plan toaddress the risksandharness the opportunitiesofadvanced artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity.

While the AI can improve security, it can also be misused to identify vulnerabilities, automate attacks, and significantly increase the scale and speed of cyber incidents. The new plan will bring together EU countries, industry, and EU-level organisations to strengthen the cybersecurity of our digital landscape against the vulnerabilities posed by advanced AI.

The new plan aims to strengthen the EU’s cybersecurity framework. It builds on existing EU rules, including theAI Act, theCyber Resilience Act, theNetwork and Information Systems Directive, and theCyber Solidarity Act.
