AI Awareness Framework

Understanding AI's dual role in cybersecurity: the threats it poses and the protection it provides

The Double-Edged Nature of AI in Cybersecurity

Artificial Intelligence represents both a powerful threat and a vital defense in modern cybersecurity. This educational framework helps you understand both edges of AI's presence in digital security through interactive demonstrations and evidence-based learning.

Rather than viewing AI as simply good or bad, this framework teaches you to recognize AI's capabilities, understand its limitations, and calibrate your trust appropriately based on context and evidence.

The Four-Stage Reflective Methodology

1

Recognize

Identify AI-generated threats like phishing emails, deepfakes, and automated social engineering attacks.

2

Reflect

Understand how AI-powered defenses work through explainable AI (XAI) that shows its reasoning process.

3

Reveal

Practice calibrating trust in AI systems by learning when to follow AI recommendations and when to override them.

4

Respond

Develop practical skills for working alongside AI security tools while maintaining critical thinking.
