AI transforms cybersecurity as talent shortage looms

Cybersecurity experts are stepping up the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to tackle faster and more sophisticated threats. Advanced AI tools are helping to detect vulnerabilities and automate time-consuming tasks, significantly improving response times. However, industry players warn that a shortage of professionals skilled in both AI and cybersecurity could hinder progress. Efforts are underway to build this niche talent pool, including collaborations and platforms such as the DEF CON hacking conference in Singapore. Nicolas Ng reports.
