John David, the CEO of Data Addict, recently shared his insights on the complex role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. He pointed out that while AI can significantly improve security measures by quickly identifying potential threats, it also poses risks as cybercriminals are using the same technology to develop more advanced attacks. This dual nature of AI makes it essential for organizations to be aware of both its benefits and dangers.

David emphasized the importance of establishing clear regulations regarding AI's use in cybersecurity. He believes that stronger international cooperation is necessary to prevent the misuse of AI technologies. Furthermore, he highlighted the potential for Nigeria and other African nations to harness AI for better security practices, such as automating processes and enhancing fraud detection.

To maximize the advantages of AI, David called for collaboration between governments and private sectors in developing responsible AI policies. He advocates for investing in local cybersecurity startups and training experts in AI-driven solutions, which could help reduce reliance on foreign security measures and bolster the region's digital safety.
