Research in cybersecurity and software technology is inextricably linked to Artificial Intelligence (AI), as researchers leveraging AI can develop tools for automated vulnerability detection, attack prevention, and adaptive defense systems.
At the same time, the rise of intelligent systems raises concerns, such as model reliability, algorithmic transparency, and data privacy. In the future, AI will accelerate innovation in research, expanding the possibilities for secure software development, while transforming society through “smart" infrastructures that balance reliability, efficiency, and ethical dilemmas.
