Introduction to AI

AI is a broad field of science concerned with machines, building computers that can act in such a way whose scale exceeds what humans can analyze that would normally require human intelligence. It encompasses many different fields including computer science, data analytics, software engineering, neuro science, statistics and philosophy and psychology. It is set of technologies based on primarily machine learning and deep learning used for object categorization, forecasting, predictions, natural language processing, intelligent data retrieval. The core principal revolves around data. AI system improve through exposure to vast amount of data. This process often involves algorithms which are set of rules or instructions that guide the AI's analysis.

AI legal frameworks The adoption of AI in law has been steadily increasing, driven by the need for efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. Legal professionals are leveraging AI-powered tools for a variety of tasks, including contract review, legal research, predictive analytics, and document automation. These technologies promise to streamline workflows, enhance decision- making, and deliver greater access to justice. (Mishra, 2024).[1] With the excellent performance of the artificial intelligence systems like Alpha Go in recent years, artificial intelligence has become a hot topic among publics.

It also attracts a large number of jurists to think about the relationship between it and the future trend of legal education. However, this thinking and even action actually started much earlier than people expected in the international context. For example, in 1987, the first "Artificial Intelligence + Law Science" conference was held at Boston University in the United States. The conference also established IAAIL (International Association of Artificial Intelligence and Law). (Hu, 2019).[2]

Cyber security is not just a problem of IT field. In fact its scope is very vast. Today everyone is familiar with internet. Even illiterate people are using smart phones and it has become indispensable from their day to day life. It is not an exaggerated statement that if someone says people are living on the internet today. Over a period of time internet has become the indispensable part of human life. Without proper knowledge and awareness, everyone is using AI in their daily walks of life.

This is the golden opportunity for hackers to deceive the people easily. At times, hackers are also cheating the people who are having sound knowledge on AI. There for cyber security is a mutual problem across the globe. Hackers are becoming smarter day by day and they are more innovative in creating malicious software to exploit the vulnerable data of individuals, organizations and governments. Cyber attacks are increasing rapidly despite of enough security measures. It can be in the form of malicious software, phishing, password attacks, drive by downloads by using hyperlinks, virus attacks etc. (Shamiulla, 2019).[3]

Background
The development and origin of the cyber laws are linked to the growth of the technology and internet. Below written article serves as the Early development of Cyber laws:

Beginnings of the Internet (1960s-1980s)

The internet initially functioned as a communication tool for academic and military institutions, focusing mainly on data sharing, with minimal attention to security or regulation. Cyber laws were not a priority during this period due to the limited use of the internet.

Expansion in the 1990s

With the internet's commercialization and the rise of e-commerce giants like Amazon and eBay, new issues emerged related to privacy, data protection, fraud, and intellectual property. This period saw the introduction of fundamental regulations aimed at preventing online fraud and protecting business.

Foundational Cyber Law Regulations

United States: The U.S. led the way with foundational legislation, such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) of 1986, addressing unauthorized computer access and cyber fraud. Other countries soon followed with their own regulations to tackle cybercrime and ensure data protection. Notably, the European Data Protection Directive of 1995 laid the groundwork for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Emergence of AI in cyber security and cyber laws

Early AI Use (2000s-2010s): AI began to be recognized for its potential to enhance cybersecurity through automated threat detection and response. Its ability to rapidly predict and prevent cyber threats marked an improvement over traditional methods.

AI uses increases in (2020s) AI's capacity to analyze vast amounts of data in real time improved malware detection and proactive security responses. AI became essential in sifting through extensive datasets during investigations, aiding law enforcement in uncovering patterns and breaches. Legal frameworks around AI expanded to include data ethics, algorithmic transparency, and accountability. The EU's AI Act became one of the first detailed regulations addressing AI technology and its risks.

Current Challenges and Future Perspectives in Cyber Laws with AI

The rapid pace of AI and machine learning development has outpaced current cyber laws, challenging lawmakers to adapt. Issues surrounding AI's decision-making, algorithmic bias, and potential misuse are prominent. New regulations aim to ensure ethical and fair AI operations. While AI strengthens cyber security, it is also used by cybercriminals for more sophisticated attacks. Regulations are evolving to combat AI-powered phishing, automated hacking, and deep fakes. The development of cyber laws and AI illustrates a continuous effort to balance technological innovation, security, privacy, and accountability as these fields rapidly evolve.

Machine intelligence, which is already extraordinarily advanced in discovery, was put to use. Electronic discovery, also known as 'e-discovery', is the "process by which computers search a database for keywords that lawyers agree are marks of relevance." Courts and the U.S. Department of Justice have already approved predictive coding as a tool for discovery.

Specifically, the United States District Court, S.D. New York in Moore v. Public Group held that computer-assisted review could now be considered "judicially-approved for use" in appropriate cases. (Biresaw, 2021).[4] Regarding AI research, from 1960 until early 2018, nearly 340,000 patent families and more than 1.6 million scientific papers related to AI were published.

The number of patent applications filed annually in the AI field grew by a factor of 6.5 between 2011 and 2017. AI is also a major topic in scientific literature, with 1,636,649 papers published up to mid-2018. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to conclude that, in the last 25 years, due to the advent of technology every aspect of legal practice (such as legal education, hiring, client acquisition, communication, and maintenance, court docketing, and judicial workflow; and discovery production) has change. (Biresaw, The impacts of AI on Research in the Legal Profession, 2022).[5]

Objective:
The main goal or objective of the research paper is to analyze the use of AI in cyber laws and the impact of AI in legislation, to inquire into how AI influences prior laws and the creation of new regulations focusing on ethical considerations, data privacy and accountability. This paper aims to provide a extensive and global understanding of how cyber laws and AI interact their implications for society and suggestions for better regulatory practices.

• To study the evolution of cyber laws and their effectiveness in addressing the current challenges regarding cyber security. and to explore how AI enhance measures regarding cyber security.
• To identify the current gaps and challenges in the current cyber laws, particularly related to AI driven technologies and addressing the concerns regarding crimes that are associated digitally.
• To evaluate the balance between advancing technologies and cyber laws ensuring data protection, public trust and security.

The International Cyber security Law Review (ICLR) is chiefly aimed at professionals interested in developments in international cyber security, data security, technology, law and regulation. Articles deal with compliance and security regulation, as well as related issues around the globe. Thus, ICLR is providing crucial and reliable information for anyone who is doing IT related business internationally. (Teichmann, 2023)[6]

Statement of problem
Cyber security is one of the main area in which AI has transformed. The progression of AI in various digital domains has given significant challanges to current cyber laws. Traditional cyber rules and regulations which were primarily made to handle human driven and data protection issues are now being exhausted by complexities introduced by the AI technologies. These technologies also bring forth new ethical legal and operational dilemmas and enhance cyber security through tools like digital forensics automated threat detection.

The main issue is that current cyber laws are not able to keep pace with the development of AI, resulting in gaps that leave individuals, businesses and society at risk. Major concerns include the absence of guidelines on AI transparency, potential biases accountability inherent in AI systems. Additionally the exploitation of AI done by cybercriminals is a major threat to society and the individuals for the purpose such as automated phishing, sophisticated hacking deep fake creation highlights the sensitivity in existing legal structure.

This research paper aims to ensure the legal and ethical considerations need to be integrated to ensure the responsible use of AI in cyber security. To ensure the current cyber laws be updated to address the unique challenges posed by AI.

Methodology
The study will use the methodology of qualitative research design, data collection that is primary data and secondary data and the analysis method of content analysis will be used to provide examples of how AI has influenced cyber security by enhancing defences and enabling cybercrimes.It also examines how legal systems have responded evaluating the effectiveness and limitation of framework. Additionally rapid development in AI may introduce new findings and this study will explore in detail how existing cyber laws intersect with the growth and incorporation of AI in cyber security and other domains

Primary data will be gathered through interviews with experts such as legal practitioners, cyber security specialists, policymakers and AI developers to capture their practical challenges and experiences.

Secondary data will include the analysis of pertinent literature such as legal texts, international agreements, academic papers and reports from cyber security organization.

Content analysis will be applied to interpret data from extracting common themes related to legislative gaps ethical concerns and the impact of AI on cyber security. The study will validate ethical research standards ensuring data privacy is maintained and the consent is obtained for information from interviews, presenting balanced views on the advantages and risks associated with AI in cyber security.

Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud on Saturday advocated for the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the judicial system albeit in a measured way. (AI to categorise cases in Supreme Court shortly, 2024).[7]

Result / Finding
The intersection of cyber laws and the growth of AI has resulted in the ongoing developments and notable findings as AI technology continues to boost.

Widening Legal frameworks –Cyber laws are being revised to ensure that the AI systems stick to existing data protection rules such as the GDPR in the EU. There is an increased focus on how AI gather, store,and manage personal data. Existing cyber laws that are from years often do not keep pace with the rapid advancement and changes in AI which leads to shortfall. Many legislators are now working on to develop and to make changes in regulations that specifically deals with AI's transparency and accountability, unique challenges. The analysis revealed several recurring points of agreement and disagreement, patterns, and trends concerning the impact of technological advancements on economic crime.

The research problem underpinning this study explores how the digital revolution and the adoption of new technologies have reshaped the landscape of economic crime, presenting both opportunities and challenges for businesses, regulators, and auditing professionals.One of the key findings is the widespread agreement among the interviewees that digitalization has led to an increase in the volume, velocity, and scope of economic crime attacks.

The ease of sending mass emails, the availability of pre-designed templates on the dark web, and the ability to recruit virtual agents or compromised devices to carry out attacks have significantly lowered the barriers to entry for perpetrators. (Rakha, 2024).[8]

Cyber Security Implications
Threats : Cyber laws must evolve to address AI driven cybercrimes which can be more complex than the earlier one. AI can strengthen cyber security defences but also it enhance cyber attacks methods. For the promotion of the ethical use of AI in cyber security legal structures are being formulated. to ensure that such tools are deployed responsibly and without infringing on civil rights. Legal changes aim to create standards that individuals from unfair treatment by AI technologies.

Shreya Singhal v. UOI In the instant case, the validity of Section 66A of the IT Act was challenged before the Supreme Court. Decision: The Supreme Court based its decision on three concepts namely: discussion, advocacy, and incitement It was found that Section 66A was capable of restricting all forms of communication and it contained no distinction between mere advocacy or discussion on a particular cause which is offensive to some and incitement by such words leading to a causal connection to public disorder. (Ashwin, 2021).[9]

AI can be used to address criminal justice-AI-powered surveillance system helps in tracking criminals easily. Real-time facial recognition technique with the use of AI has the potential of preventing crime with its deep-learning methods such as: charting of a face with some facial points; The distance amid several facial points and the slants are examined thereby enabling to unmask the face behind the AI has the potential to be a permanent part of our criminal justice eco system,providing investigative assistance and allowing criminal justice professionals to better maintain public safety. (Jabeen).[10]

Discussion
Cyber laws are crucial for understanding and addressing challenges posed by the digital era such as cybercrimes, data security, privacy concerns. Cyber laws have been established to ensure the safe, ethical and secure application of technology. Their main focus is on prevention of cybercrimes such as hacking, identity theft, unauthorized data access or modification or fraud and in this article f we talk about data protection and privacy, guidelines are set by( GDPR ) for how personal data should be collected, stored and processed.

While cyber laws plays an essential role they also face several limitations such as lack of uniformity in cyber laws varies which creates inconsistencies complications internationally, jurisdictional issue,technological advancements often outpace legislative process leaving behind loopholes making space for cybercriminals. AI's impact on cyber security shows considerable advances and problems.

AI technologies improve cyber security by detecting, preventing, and responding to threats. Our analysis indicates that AI strengthens defenses and enables complex attacks. This chapter also discusses future directions and recommendations for using AI in cyber security

AI as a Double-Edged Sword in Cyber security:

• Enhanced Threat Detection and Prevention: AI has greatly enhanced threat detection and prevention. In real-time, machine learning algorithms can spot patterns and abnormalities in massive data sets that may signify risks. AI-driven systems better detect zero-day exploits, APTs, and insider threats than traditional techniques.
   
• Automated Incident Response: Automation of incident response is one of AI's most incredible cybersecurity advances. AI systems can quickly identify threats, isolate systems, stop malicious communications, and start recovery. Automation speeds response and decreases assault damage, reducing business disruptions and financial losses.
   
• Vulnerability Management: AI helps prioritize security issues and improve vulnerability management. AI-based predictive vulnerability assessment tools examine historical data and threat information to predict exploitable flaws. Automated patch management systems quickly patch vulnerabilities, limiting exploitation.
   
• Endpoint Protection: AI-driven NGAV and EDR systems detect and block threats at the device level using improved capabilities. These systems monitor endpoint activity, identify malicious behaviour, and respond to real-time attacks, enhancing security. (Egbuna, 2021)[11]

Conclusion
In the conclusion the the rapid advancement of AI technology poses substantial challenges to current cyber laws impacting areas such as accountability, privacy and security. Cyber laws must strengthen data protection regulations to ensure that AI development upholds privacy rights, current cyber laws often falls short in addressing the challenges brought by AI. These laws should be dynamic and future oriented to keep up with the progression of the technology. While AI can improve cyber security. it also poses some risks so cyber laws should address AI'S dual nature to maximize its security benefits while minimizing its exploitation from malicious entities.

Suggestions:
There is a need to enforce laws that requires transparency in AI algorithms, international cooperation is essential to create consistent standards for AI safety, comprehensive regulations that are specific to AI should be established covering ethical guidelines to bridge the gap not addressed by cyber laws. Emerging cyber security threats and the role of AI in defence underscores the urgent need for collaboration, innovation, and vigilance in the face of adversity.

As the digital frontier continues to evolve, so too must our strategies for safeguarding the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information assets. By embracing AI as a force multiplier in cyber security, we embark on a journey towards a safer, more resilient cyber landscape. Let us heed the lessons learned,embrace the opportunities afforded by AI, and chart a course towards future. (Jimmy, 2021)[12]
