• Abstract: This paper critically examines the evolving ethical and regulatory challenges posed by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. We trace the historical development of AI regulation, highlighting major milestones from theoretical discussions in the 1940s to the implementation of recent global frameworks such as the European Union AI Act. The current regulatory landscape is analyzed, emphasizing risk-based approaches, sector-specific regulations, and the tension between fostering innovation and mitigating risks. Ethical concerns such as bias, transparency, accountability, privacy, and human oversight are explored in depth, along with their implications for AI-driven cybersecurity systems. Furthermore, we propose strategies for promoting AI literacy and public engagement, essential for shaping a future regulatory framework. Our findings underscore the need for a unified, globally harmonized regulatory approach that addresses the unique risks of AI in cybersecurity. We conclude by identifying future research opportunities and recommending pathways for collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to ensure the responsible deployment of AI technologies in cybersecurity.

  We describe risks that include large-scale social harms, malicious uses, and irreversible loss of human control over autonomous AI systems. There is a lack of consensus about how exactly such risks arise, and how to manage them. Present governance initiatives lack the mechanisms and institutions to prevent misuse and recklessness, and barely address autonomous systems.

  This interdisciplinary position paper considers various concerns surrounding fairness and discrimination in AI, and discusses how AI regulations address them. We first look at AI and fairness through the lenses of law, (AI) industry, sociotechnology, and (moral) philosophy, and present various perspectives. We identify and propose the roles AI Regulation should take to make the endeavor of the AI Act a success in terms of AI fairness concerns.
