Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely adopted today for its ability to detect patterns, automate tasks, and reduce time and cost across various applications. Its integration into Cybersecurity has garnered significant attention, particularly in areas such as intrusion detection, malware analysis, and phishing or spam detection. As AI and cybersecurity evolve, new methods and approaches emerge regularly. Current trends include the use of Generative AI, Natural Language Processing, Federated Learning for privacy-preserving collaborative training, and eXplainable AI to ensure interpretability and trust, which are vital in cybersecurity. This paper presents an interesting review of current AI-based cybersecurity trends, focusing on intrusion detection approaches and aiming to uncover meaningful insights through comparative analysis based on the employed AI techniques and reported performance.
