Over a period of three years, a team of AIDRC scientists and MBZUAI professors will mentor associate professors, post-doctoral fellows, PhD and post-graduate students. The partnership will investigate emerging cybersecurity issues and propose viable solutions using futuristic AI models.
According to Prof. Mérouane Debbah, Chief Researcher at AIDRC, integrating AI with cybersecurity has numerous benefits. However, there are significant challenges to using AI in cybersecurity for real-time applications in smart cities. To address these challenges, the collaboration between TII and MBZUAI will utilize substantial computing resources, trained data sets from different domains and malware code features to safeguard against intrusion behavior and anomaly signatures.
