Artificial intelligence (AI) is a driving force behind today's technological revolution. Its omnipresence is especially prominent in cybersecurity. The combination of AI's adaptive algorithms and expansive data processing capabilities has empowered malicious actors to develop complex social engineering attacks. Such strategies, previously relying heavily on human intervention, are now becoming progressively automated and exceptionally stealthy.
Social engineering, fundamentally, manipulates human psychology for deceit. It's a game of playing on emotions, trust and perception. AI supercharges this threat by offering tools to execute these deceptive strategies with both precision and scale.
