Assessment of AI-based attacks\/threats and their\u00a0impact on Cybersecurity is still work in progress. As of today, there is no publicly\u00a0documented evidence of AI-based attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Novel type of attacks (e.g. causing autonomous vehicles to crash, swarm of micro-drones)\u00a0could lead to fatal casualties taking away human lives unlike the &#8216;traditional&#8217; Cybersecurity\u00a0threats known today with limited or no vital consequences.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>There are concerns about policy choices made today with regards to AI that may\u00a0affect future generations (analogous to the Climate Change).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>There is a need to examine what is working and what is not in the various models\u00a0of \u2018multiskaholderism\u2019 and how multi-disciplinary competencies could be built very\u00a0early in education of the digital natives. (e.g. the need to have legal and ethics\u00a0modules in Computer Sciences and Engineering curricula and vice-versa)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Civil Liability for Cyberattacks may face additional complexities with increased anonymity\u00a0and difficulty to attribute attacks that are based on AI. New challenges in the legal aspects could\u00a0emerge as malicious actors may exploit vulnerabilities of AI systems through new\u00a0dimensions such as data poisoning, machine learning and related algorithms etcetera.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Y.
