摘要

Abstract

The cyber domain has entered a new era defined by artificial intelligence

particularly generative AI and large language models. This paper argues that AI does not simply strengthen one side but fundamentally reshapes the "rules of the game" and evolutionary dynamics of cyber conflict. It systematically examines how AI enables "democratized" and "adaptive" threats on the offensive side

while driving a paradigm shift toward "behavioral cognition" and "proactive prediction" in defense. Beyond a mere technical inventory

this paper innovatively constructs a "generative AI-driven offense-defense game cycle model

" demonstrating the deep strategic interdependence between attackers and defenders

where technological progress serves as the core engine that breaks equilibrium and drives evolution. In response to four major challenges—data

trust

real-time performance

and adversarial robustness—this paper proposes that future defense systems must evolve toward a "trustworthy

adaptive

and co-evolutionary intelligent immune system." This is not only a technical pathway but also an inevitable strategic choice for addressing uncertain threats in the age of AI.
