Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Cyber Defence

Conclusion

The key concepts associated with artificial intelligence (AI), and thus constituting its domain or space, are those of speed, autonomy, invisibility, action, decision-making, learning, data, etc. With this particular AI space, we must associate its flaws and vulnerabilities, such as errors, biases, imperfections and exposure to attacks, which are the most important aspects of AI.

Many of these aspects are already present in the issues addressed by cybersecurity and cyber defense. But when we talk about cyberspace, we are primarily considering reticulation (networking of the world, individuals and societies), and we therefore treat security and defense issues in light of this essential characteristic. The network calls into question the way in which we control space, and therefore the way in which we think about national space, sovereignty, borders, the reduction of distances, power over this space and the militarization of this space. The network highlights the notions of flow, exchange and sharing. Cyberspace implies constant fluidity and permanent movement of data, and therefore is a dynamic associated with its own spatialization.

AI is placed at a different level; it calls for other concepts, other ideas, other representations and logics. Nonetheless, it is a full-fledged part of cyberspace, without which it is nothing: it feeds on data, is made up of applications, acts and circulates in cybernetic space and acts on cybernetic space, which it will modify, disrupt ...
