Cyber Technology in the Postmodern Era and the Growing Significance of Its Accountability

Cyber technology encompasses all technological innovations, algorithms, the internet of things, and so on, resulting in an interconnected digital world. Although the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain secures cyberspace, which has a positive impact on internet globalization. However, the growing significance of security in cyber technology, including artificial intelligence (AI-enabled technologies), is a growing phenomenon and vital because of the increase in cyber-related risks. The usefulness of Internet of things (IoT) like smartphones, other smart gadgets, etc., for day-to-day life is very crucial, and the security of such devices is an urgent concern. Hence, the more secure the AI-enabled technologies, the greater their reliability and accountability. However, the lack of sufficient legislation and the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) may increase the compromise of data and privacy of numerous individuals, leading to potential cyber threats that could negatively impact internet globalization. The purpose of the study is of threefold: first, to examine the rise of cyber criminality; second, to highlight the importance of law to regulate AI; and third, to highlight the significance of security in IoT to combat cyber risk.
