Thomas College is taking a proactive approach to address the growing concern of artificial intelligence’s implications on cybersecurity by introducing a new course, “Artificial Intelligence Implications for Cybersecurity,” to its Master of Science in Cybersecurity program. According to Dr. Frank Appunn, a cybersecurity professor at Thomas College, AI is still in its infant stages, and its rapid evolution will bring new opportunities and challenges. The course aims to equip students with the skills to navigate the complex landscape of AI-powered cyber threats and develop innovative solutions to combat them. With the increasing number of cyberattacks on hospitals, community water systems, and other critical infrastructure, the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals has never been more pressing. Appunn emphasizes that the cyber issue will continue to grow, and it’s essential to stay ahead of the curve by investing in education and innovation. The new course is a step in the right direction, providing students with the knowledge and expertise to make a positive impact in the field.
