ABSTRACT

The relevance of the research is due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and their increasing integration into government, economic and military spheres, which creates both opportunities and serious risks for the national cybersecurity of the Russian Federation. In the context of geopolitical tensions, the expansion of sanctions pressure and the growing number of cyber attacks, the use of AI as a threat and defense tool is gaining strategic importance. The purpose of the study is to identify and systematize the key threats associated with the use of AI in the context of cybersecurity in the Russian Federation in the period 2021-2024, as well as to formulate proposals to strengthen technological sovereignty and legal regulation. The research uses methods of system analysis, comparative legal analysis, generalization of scientific publications and regulatory legal acts, as well as methods of forecasting and risk analysis. The results of the study include the identification of two key problems – legal uncertainty of AI and technological dependence on unfriendly states, as well as the development of recommendations for creating a domestic AI ecosystem that is resistant to external challenges. In conclusion, the need for a harmonious combination of legal regulation, investments in scientific and technical base, and international cooperation with friendly countries is emphasized to ensure Russia's digital sovereignty and cyber resilience.
