ABSTRACT

The rapid digitization of India’s economy has led to a significant rise in cybercrimes, posing serious threats to individuals, businesses, and national security. As traditional cybersecurity measures struggle to keep pace with evolving threats, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative tool to enhance cyber defense mechanisms. This paper explores the role of AI in combating cybercrime in India, focusing on its applications in threat detection, predictive analytics, and automated response systems. It also examines the challenges associated with AI adoption, including ethical concerns, data privacy issues, regulatory gaps, and the need for skilled professionals. Furthermore, the study highlights opportunities for strengthening India’s cybersecurity framework through AI-driven innovations, public-private partnerships, and policy reforms. By addressing these challenges and leveraging AI effectively, India can significantly enhance its cyber resilience and safeguard its digital infrastructure.
