Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Ensuring National Security and Defense Capability of Ukraine: Legal Issues and Prospects for the Post-War Period

Abstract

The article discusses the problems and prospects of implementing modern information and communication technologies, including artificial intelligence, in the sphere of ensuring national security and defense capability of Ukraine. The main regulatory acts that contain provisions on the introduction of artificial intelligence in the defense and security legislationof Ukraine are investigated, as well as the negative and positive aspects of introducing artificial intelligence and the European and global experience of using artificial intelligence in this direction. The issue of transferring artificial intelligence technologies through the security and defense sector to other sectors of the economy is also raised. Ensuring national security and defense capability of Ukraine in the post-war period should become the main priority of the country's military and political leadership.It is argued that the rapid, efficient, and flexible provision of society's needs for military security and defense of the state in the post-war period can be achieved through the introduction of advanced technologies, including the use of artificial intelligence and Big Data, as a priority for the further development of the defense industry complex of post-war Ukraine. Today, artificial intelligence belongs to such technological areas of social development that are rapidly evolving and have great potential in many fields, including national security, defense, military medicine, military logistics, intelligence and counterintelligence, aerial reconnaissance, and so on. This explains the essence of the chosen problematic, its relevance, and the need for its research.It is concluded that the use of artificial intelligence in the sphere of ensuring national security and defense capability of Ukraine can have both positive and negative aspects. As a generalization, it is noted that in order to ensure national security and defense capability of Ukraine in the post-war period, it is necessary to develop and introduce the best world practices into national legislation, taking into account the potential opportunities and threats of artificial intelligence, and ensuring the transfer of artificial intelligence technologies through the defense and security sectors to other sectors of the economy.
