AI AND CYBERSECURITY IN INDUSTRY 5.0: KEEPING SMART SYSTEMS SAFE

Industry 5.0 is the next big step in how factories and industries work. It focuses on people and smart machines working together to make things more creative, flexible, and personalized. While Industry 4.0 was mostly about using machines to do tasks automatically, Industry 5.0 brings humans back into the process. It uses advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and robots but keeps human skills at the center. However, this close connection between people and machines also creates new risks, like cyberattacks and data theft. To stay safe, industries need strong cybersecurity systems such as secure access, protection for AI, and constant monitoring. Examples include robots helping workers build custom car parts and using smart glasses in warehouses. To get the best results from Industry 5.0, companies must combine technology with strong safety and ethical practices.
