The growing threat posed by cybercriminals to an organization’s digital security is driving it to look for more intelligent ways to protect the system. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used by many businesses to safeguard their resources. Data indicates that over the past few years, the use of AI in cyber security has increased rapidly across the globe, indicating that an increasing number of businesses are looking for more efficient solutions than the conventional ones. However, some people are hesitant to put it into practice. Previous studies indicate that the cyber security branch discusses this issue. In order to better grasp AI’s potential applications and the difficulties that organizations confront, researchers are working to learn more about it. A wide range of businesses, including those that use AI-based cyber security solutions and those that do not, were questioned about their perspectives on the subject using semi-structured interviews as the main research approach. The study aims to understand the perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber security, as well as the perceived risks and opportunities connected with AI adoption. Additionally, the research will investigate prospective avenues for future research and development in this area. The study comes to the conclusion that businesses should think about the ethical and legal ramifications as well as the significance of selecting the appropriate AI solutions when expressing interest in strengthening their security using AI. In light of the growing and dynamic nature of cyber threats, experts advise businesses looking to strengthen their cyber security defenses to consider implementing artificial intelligence (AI).
