Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping cyber security by intensifying threats while simultaneously transforming defensive capabilities. This paper examines how AI-driven cyber security practices intersect with data protection, privacy governance and regulatory accountability. It analyses the implications of automated threat detection, large-scale behavioural monitoring and predictive security tools for individual privacy and institutional compliance, drawing on comparative insights from global privacy and AI governance frameworks. The paper argues that effective cyber security in the AI era requires governance models that integrate technical safeguards with enforceable legal and ethical constraints, ensuring that security objectives are pursued without eroding fundamental privacy rights.
