Legal problems of using artificial intelligence technologies in the context of ensuring national security of Ukraine

Abstract

This paper is committed to the problems of legal regulation in the field of use of artificial intelligence. The authors pay attention to the points of view regarding the essence of artificial intelligence and its impact on society. It was determined that legal regulation is challenged and needs changes. This situation is characteristic not only for the specific technology of artificial intelligence but also for all emerging technologies. This impact is often unpredictable, so regulation is carried out in a situation of uncertainty. This is a certain terminological convention of the term “intellect” taking into account the nature of technology. In view of the social impact of technologies, the main ideas in the direction of finding problems for legal regulation are determined. The impact of technologies on the nature of challenges and threats in the field of national security is analyzed. Strategic planning documents in the field of national security and implementation of artificial intelligence were considered. An important, albeit promising, impact on the state of threats was established. Use of artificial intelligence technologies can significantly change the nature of the main threats in the field of national security. It is the interests of national security that should be allowed as a priority in the legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in public life. It is proposed to determine the existing and potential threats from the use of artificial intelligence in further strategic planning in the sphere of ensuring the national security of Ukraine.
