Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) seem to revolutionize all aspects of our life. Of course, this also is true for cybersecurity - at least if we believe the statements from vendors that want to sell their latest AI/ML-enhanced security product. But is this really true?

In my presentation at the Secure South West 14, I will briefly explain how ML/AI works, and I will discuss four different aspects of ML/AI in the context of security:

• ML/AI for defensive security (or: how can ML/AI be used for protecting systems and organizations),
• ML/AI for offensive security (or: how threat actors might use ML/AI for attacking systems and organizations),
• Security and safety of ML/AI (or: can we actually trust ML/AI, can we use it to build systems that our life depends on?), and
• Challenges of ML/AI (or: challenges that systems relying on ML/AI face, and that not everybody likes to talk about).
