Abstract Generally, when we hear something related to AI, it’s always on how it helps us, how it reduces our workload or how it increases the efficiency of the task. But that's not always the case. This is just the one side of a coin. The other side of coin is not much popular in present times which in turn helps the people who misuse it. AI is a double-edged sword. As the sharpness of the sword increases, the better the sword will be. Since it’s a double edged one, it hurts us too. In the exact same way as the AI evolves it helps people, but it also can be used to harm the people.

For example, if we see a soldier with a gun, we will feel safe but if we see the same gun with a stranger, we will be terrified. Here gun is akin to AI and normally the people only know about soldiers and pay no heed to the other situation. Hence in this paper we will be discussing about how AI can be used for wrong purposes.

This paper inspects the darker applications of AI, particularly the threats created by AI-driven cyberattacks. Our focus is to raise awareness of these obscure risks and stress the need for protections to prevent AI misuse. Specifically, we will cover the basics of cyberattacks, how AI makes them more effective, and a method to defend against them.
