Abstract(s)
More than 99% of cybercriminal attacks exploit human characteristics and behaviour (people’s vulner-
abilities) rather than vulnerabilities in computer systems. When it comes to cybersecurity, it is crucial
to consider human behaviour on the part of the user. Cognitive aspects such as attention, memory, and
reasoning can be affected by conditions such as fatigue, illness, or injury and are pointed out as human
characteristics that are at the origin of several incidents. Users’ stress and anxiety may be correlated
with making mistakes that compromise cybersecurity. Thus, behavioural psychology should be used
to develop effective educational strategies and encourage safe and conscious behaviour in relation to
cybersecurity. By understanding how users interact and respond to AI, more effective and aware cyber-
security systems can be created. This chapter’s overall objective is to map the literature regarding the
psychology of behaviour towards AI in cybersecurity, using a scoping review methodology to provide
input into the behavioural psychology aspects regarding AI and cybersecurity.
