CYB 313 AI Technologies Impact on Cybersecurity

This course examines how artificial intelligence technologies continue to transform cybersecurity threats, defenses, governance, and professional practice. Students explore AI-enabled attack methods, AI-assisted defense, generative AI, large language models, automated vulnerability discovery, social engineering, malware development risks, security analytics, and cyber risk management. The course emphasizes adversarial AI for language models, including prompt injection, jailbreaks, model manipulation, data poisoning, retrieval-augmented generation risks, and defensive strategies. Students evaluate both the benefits and limitations of AI technologies and consider ethical, legal, privacy, and organizational implications of AI adoption in cybersecurity.
