Abstract This report traces humanity’s evolving relationship with reality, knowledge, and reason from antiquity to the digital age, culminating in the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).

Starting to think abut AI in context of Cybersecurity. Courtesy of Koat.ai Summary AI plays a dual role in cybersecurity, enhancing threat detection and response while also being exploited by cybercriminals.
