Abstract

This paper presents the increasing complexities that cyber threats bring to the government of the Philippines. With the role of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, in combating cybercrime-related incidents, AI plays a particularly important role in governing cybersecurity by detecting and predicting technology-based threats and implementing automated mitigation strategies. With the alignment of this paper to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 16, which organizes and advances peace, justice, and robust institutions, this research paper discovers AI-driven answers to protect public organizations from cyberattacks. It investigates artificial intelligence's position in characterizing threat intelligence in controlling response times. Additionally, this research aims to minimize false positives when addressing data privacy issues. This paper also examines the effects of adversarial attacks, weaknesses in artificial intelligence systems, and the need for people-centric controls. This study presents perceptions on safeguarding public organizations against advancing cyber risks while establishing SDG 16’s objective of creating strong and secure technological structures through an evaluation of artificial intelligence’s effectiveness in cybersecurity.
