Artificial intelligence in the national security system: development trajectories and global risks
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
The relevance of the research is due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, which are increasingly integrated into areas critical to national security: defense, cybersecurity, intelligence, logistics, and information operations. From 2021 to 2024, there was a transition from experimental prototypes to combat and operational use of AI, which requires updating the analytical base and reassessing strategic challenges. The purpose of the study is to analyze the dynamics of military and dual-use AI in key leading countries (Russia, USA, China, Israel) over the specified period, identify the main trends, threats and technological gaps, as well as assess the compliance of Russian achievements with international standards. The research uses methods of system analysis, comparative analysis, content analysis of public and expert sources, as well as forecasting methods based on technological roadmaps. The results of the study include: updating information on the state of military AI in Russia and abroad, identifying key areas of development such as autonomous combat systems, AI support for command and control, AI in cyber and information operations; creating two comparative tables on the level of technological maturity and the nature of military use of AI; formulation of recommendations on reducing the risks associated with autonomous weapons systems. In conclusion, it is emphasized the need to accelerate the creation of an ethical, legal and regulatory framework for regulating AI in the military sphere, as well as to increase coordination between the civil and defense sectors in order to achieve technological sovereignty.
