Artificial Intelligence is the wide branch of computer science.

It deals with
developing smart machines that can operate without human interaction.
Today we can think of a machine that can work according to our needs
without providing instructions.

Artificial Intelligence can be used in video games, mobile phones, cars,

surveillance, etc.

Many famous social platforms like Google, Facebook and many more use
Artificial Intelligence. The recommendation in Google or any other site uses
AI. Google assistance and Siri in iPhone is a virtual assistance program which
is an example of Artificial Intelligence.

Another famous example of Artificial Intelligence is Amazon’s Alexa and

Amazon Echo developed by Amazon. We have heard of self-controlling
cars. They do work on the principle of Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence is a new technology in the field of computer science.

“Artificial” means man-made that is not natural and “Intelligence” refers to
the ability to think and make decisions. Therefore, we can say that making
machines like computers to take their own decisions is Artificial Intelligence.
This could be possible using various computer programming and codes.

In other words, Artificial Intelligence or AI is a field that makes computers to

behave like humans and make decisions on their own. Machine learning and
natural language processing are all part of Artificial Intelligence. Some
advanced hardware and software along with the high-level programming
languages are used in AI applications.

Also known as “white hats,” ethical hackers are security experts that perform

these security assessments. The proactive work they do helps to improve an
organization’s security posture. With prior approval from the organization or
owner of the IT asset, the mission of ethical hacking is opposite from
malicious hacking. 
Ethical hackers use their knowledge to secure and improve the technology of
organizations. They provide an essential service to these organizations by
looking for vulnerabilities that can lead to a security breach.
An ethical hacker reports the identified vulnerabilities to the organization.
Additionally, they provide remediation advice. In many cases, with the
organization’s consent, the ethical hacker performs a re-test to ensure the
vulnerabilities are fully resolved. 
Malicious hackers intend to gain unauthorized access to a resource (the more
sensitive the better) for financial gain or personal recognition. Some malicious
hackers deface websites or crash backend servers for fun, reputation
damage, or to cause financial loss. The methods used and vulnerabilities
found remain unreported. They aren’t concerned with improving the
organizations security posture.  

An ethical hack is an authorized attempt to get unauthorized access to a

computer system, application, or data. Ethical hacking is the imitation of
harmful attackers’ methods and actions. This method aids in the detection of
security flaws that can be fixed before malicious hackers exploit them.

Ethical hackers, sometimes known as “white hats,” are cyber security

specialists that do these evaluations. They play an essential role in enhancing
an organization’s security posture by performing proactive work. Ethical
hacking has a different goal than malicious hacking. It is done with prior
authorization from the organization or owner of the IT asset.

An ethical hacker is a professional who penetrates systems and networks

using the same knowledge and tools as malicious hackers but without any
malicious intent. Ethical hacking is vital because it allows businesses to
identify potential threats in their system before they become an actual
problem.
