Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Cybersecurity in Healthcare and Food Processing: A Review of Emerging Trends and the Role of Generative Models like ChatGPT

Abstract

Through this review we will discuss how the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) including tools such as ChatGPT can help improve cybersecurity in both the healthcare and food processing industries. With an increase in smart technologies and digital infrastructure in these industries, cyber threats are also increasing at risk of harming patient safety, food integrity, and consumer confidence. The article looks at the roles of AI systems at detecting threats in real-time, predictive analytics, and auto-response systems, as well as real-world examples of a breach and breakthroughs. The ethics is dealt with including data privacy, bias, and transparency, as well as up-and-coming tendencies in resilient cyber-physical systems and cross-sector cooperation. The adoption of AI is presented as not only one of the defensive mechanisms, though, rather, as a strategically valuable means to construct adaptive, intelligent, and ethically responsible security systems. The article ends with a way forward towards the creation of cyber resilience in the environment where the world continues to grow digitalized and interconnected.
