The Horizon Audiofiles - Ep 065 - AI Enabled Cyberspace Operations

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the offence–defence balance
in cyberspace. Drawing on recent cases (PromptLock ransomware,
Auto-Exploit pipelines, and the Air Force’s DASH wargame) and a
systematic review of academic articles, this study examines how
AI alters tempo, cost, and thresholds in cyberspace operations.
Findings show that AI accelerates offensive exploitation, enables
polymorphism, and lowers expertise requirements, while defence
depends on machine-speed decision support constrained by
institutional readiness. The short-term tilt favours offence, yet
policy-aware autonomy and resilient governance can restore
partial parity. AI functions as a structural force influencing
the trajectory of state competition in cyberspace.
