Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in financial technology (fintech) has significantly transformed the landscape of cybersecurity, offering innovative solutions to combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. This review explores the role of AI in enhancing cybersecurity within the fintech sector, examining current applications, challenges, and future directions. By analyzing recent literature, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of how AI-driven tools are being utilized to detect, prevent, and respond to cyber threats, and discusses the implications for the security of financial systems
