The use of Artificial Intelligence by malicious individuals to increase the effectiveness of cyber attacks is another reason business owners, including lawyers managing law firms, should learn about the risks and benefits of AI. The less business owners know about this technology, the greater advantage malicious users, who do understand AI technology, possess.
AI has the potential to change the way people live their day-to-day lives. This change will naturally include changes to how business owners run their businesses and lawyers operate their law firms.
AI is an example of a technology that will have such a drastic impact on the world, that lawyers will need to learn about this technology to effectively advise their clients, under certain circumstances. A Legal Tech toolkit that includes a general understanding of AI is increasingly essential to competently practice law.

The software then began to mimic that normal behavior, effectively blending into the background and becoming harder for security tools to spot. Darktrace declined to discuss the case in greater detail.
