    With the rising complexity of modern information systems and the resulting ever increasing flow of big data, the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are now widely recognized. Specifically, Machine Learning (ML) methods are already deployed to solve diverse real-world tasks – especially with the advent of deep learning. Fascinating examples of practical achievements of ML are machine translation, travel and vacation recommendations, object detection and tracking, and even various applications in healthcare. Furthermore, ML is rightly considered to be a technology enabler, as it has shown great potential in the context of telecommunication systems or autonomous driving.

    Nevertheless, modern society is increasingly relying on Information Technology (IT) systems – including autonomous ones – which are also actively leveraged by malicious entities. Digital threats are, in fact, continuously evolving, and some researchers believe attackers will have sufficient capabilities to harm or kill humans by 2025. To prevent such incidents and mitigate the plethora of risks that can target current and future IT systems, defensive mechanisms require the capability to quickly adapt to the (i) mutating environments and (ii) dynamic threat landscape. Coping with such a twofold requirement via static and human-defined methods is clearly unfeasible, and deployment of Machine Learning in cybersecurity is inescapable.

Read the text to answer question.

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —

Only this, and nothing more."

        Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,

And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

Eagerly I wished the morrow; — vainly I had sought to borrow

From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for the lost Lenore —

For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore —

Nameless here for evermore.

        And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

Thrilled me — filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;

So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,

Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door —

Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door; —

This is it, and nothing more."

        Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; 

But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,

And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,

That I scarce was sure I heard you"— here I opened wide the door; —

Darkness there, and nothing more.

        Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,

Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;

But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,

And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore?"

This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!" —

Merely this, and nothing more.

        Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,

Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.

Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:

Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore —

Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore; —

'Tis the wind and nothing more."

        Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;

Not the least obeisance made he;

not a minute stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door —

Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door —

Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

        Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, 

By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.

Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,

Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore —

Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

        Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,

Though its answer little meaning— little relevancy bore;

For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being

Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door —

Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,

With such name as "Nevermore.”

― Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
What is the ultimate effect of the raven on the narrator?
