Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, and Cybersecurity in Critical Sectors: The Case of Healthcare and Food Production with ChatGPT

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI), computer science (CS), and cybersecurity are transforming the most critical areas, especially healthcare and food production. AI contributes to greater diagnostics, personalized medicine, precision agriculture and supply chain optimization, and CS enables the adoption of these systems by providing the computing models and structure. Nonetheless, growing digitalization complicates the attribution of cyber threats by expanding the target area, which substantially increases the risk of data confidentiality, system robustness, and ethical governing practices. ChatGPT and other large language models ( LLMs ) present both opportunities and threats to cybersecurity in that they can assist, detect threats and communicate, but also be used as a source of manipulation and false information. The review looks at opportunities, challenges and directions, and the importance of sustainable, secure and inclusive technological integration.
