The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Cyber Security for Social Media
Social media systems such as Facebook and Twitter are playing a major role in society connecting over a billion people worldwide and enabling them to communicate and share information with each other as well as within a group of individuals. These social media systems can vastly help humanity such as spread information about infectious diseases and discuss solutions to problems faced by humanity including preventing child trafficking and violence against women. However, social media systems can also do harm, such as shared false information, more popularly known as fake news, as well as violating the privacy of individuals. With the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems together with powerful machine learning techniques as well as the cyber attacks on information systems are changing the way the social media systems are being used by humans. This paper discusses the role of both AI and Cyber Security for social media systems including the benefits of AI as well as protecting social media systems.
