Abstract
This article investigates cybersecurity (and risk) in the context of 'technological singularity' from artificial intelligence. The investigation constructs multiple risk forecasts that are synthesised in a new framework for counteracting risks from artificial intelligence (AI) itself. In other words, the research in this article is not just concerned with securing a system, but also analysing how the system responds when (internal and external) failure(s) and compromise(s) occur. This is an important methodological principle because not all systems can be secured, and totally securing a system is not feasible. Thus, we need to construct algorithms that will enable systems to continue operating even when parts of the system have been compromised. Furthermore, the article forecasts emerging cyber-risks from the integration of AI in cybersecurity. Based on the forecasts, the article is concentrated on creating synergies between the existing literature, the data sources identified in the survey, and forecasts. The forecasts are used to increase the feasibility of the overall research and enable the development of novel methodologies that uses AI to defend from cyber risks. The methodology is focused on addressing the risk of AI attacks, as well as to forecast the value of AI in defence and in the prevention of AI rogue devices acting independently.

期刊介绍:
Evolving Systems covers surveys, methodological, and application-oriented papers in the area of dynamically evolving systems. ‘Evolving systems’ are inspired by the idea of system model evolution in a dynamically changing and evolving environment. In contrast to the standard approach in machine learning, mathematical modelling and related disciplines where the model structure is assumed and fixed a priori and the problem is focused on parametric optimisation, evolving systems allow the model structure to gradually change/evolve. The aim of such continuous or life-long learning and domain adaptation is self-organization. It can adapt to new data patterns, is more suitable for streaming data, transfer learning and can recognise and learn from unknown and unpredictable data patterns. Such properties are critically important for autonomous, robotic systems that continue to learn and adapt after they are being designed (at run time).
Evolving Systems solicits publications that address the problems of all aspects of system modelling, clustering, classification, prediction and control in non-stationary, unpredictable environments and describe new methods and approaches for their design.
The journal is devoted to the topic of self-developing, self-organised, and evolving systems in its entirety — from systematic methods to case studies and real industrial applications. It covers all aspects of the methodology such as
Evolving Systems methodology
Evolving Neural Networks and Neuro-fuzzy Systems
Evolving Classifiers and Clustering
Evolving Controllers and Predictive models
Evolving Explainable AI systems
Evolving Systems applications
but also looking at new paradigms and applications, including medicine, robotics, business, industrial automation, control systems, transportation, communications, environmental monitoring, biomedical systems, security, and electronic services, finance and economics. The common features for all submitted methods and systems are the evolving nature of the systems and the environments.
The journal is encompassing contributions related to:
1) Methods of machine learning, AI, computational intelligence and mathematical modelling
2) Inspiration from Nature and Biology, including Neuroscience, Bioinformatics and Molecular biology, Quantum physics
3) Applications in engineering, business, social sciences.
