In today’s digital age where private data breaches pose significant risks to individuals and organizations alike, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in safeguarding sensitive information has grown significantly. This project provides an overview of how AI identifies, mitigates, and responds to data breach threats more effectively than traditional methods. It will also provide real-world case studies to showcase the successes and limitations of AI in private data management. By emphasizing the significance of employing AI for protecting sensitive information, the project will equip students with a balanced perspective on AI’s potential and its challenges in cybersecurity.
