  Smart grid systems are critical to the power industry, however their
sophisticated architectural design and operations expose them to a number of
cybersecurity threats, such as data tampering, data eavesdropping, and Denial
of Service, among others. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies are
becoming increasingly popular for detecting cyber assaults in a variety of
computer settings, and several efforts have been made to secure various
systems. The present AI systems are being exposed and vanquished because of the
recent emergence of sophisticated adversarial systems such as Generative
Adversarial Networks (GAN). The purpose of this short review is to outline some
of the initiatives to protect smart grid systems, their obstacles, and what
might be a potential future AI research direction
