Introduction

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) presents significant opportunities for both societies and industries. At the same time, however, it raises growing concerns about the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks. These cyber risks can lead not only to substantial direct financial losses for firms, but also to indirect losses stemming from reputational damage and cascading effects within interconnected systems. To enhance resilience in the face of such events, it is essential for scholars across disciplines to engage in rigorous analysis and interdisciplinary dialogue on the assessment and management of cyber risks.
