Ethical Considerations: The Use of AI in Cybersecurity Raises Several Ethical Questions

Algorithmic bias is a concern; machine learning algorithms can be biased if they are trained on incomplete or skewed data.

Data privacy is also paramount – the collection and analysis of vast datasets can potentially infringe upon individual rights.
