ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE DUALITY OF BENEFITS AND THREATS IN CYBERSECURITY

This research paper examines key aspects of artificial intelligence application through the lens of cybersecurity, with an emphasis on both the benefits and threats to this area. The study is aimed at analyzing the legal aspects of the use of artificial intelligence technologies in cyberspace, assessing their impact on the protection of information systems, and identifying risks and threats arising in connection with the possible use of artificial intelligence for criminal purposes by attackers. The aim of the study is a comprehensive study of the legal and ethical aspects of the use of artificial intelligence, as well as the development of proposals for improving legislation in this area. The work aims to determine the balance between the benefits that artificial intelligence provides in the process of ensuring cybersecurity and the threats that may arise as a result of its unlawful use. To achieve the stated goals, the article uses general scientific and special methods of legal research, among which the following can be distinguished: the method of analysis and synthesis, the formal-legal method, the comparative-legal method, the historical-legal method, the prognostic method, etc.

The article is intended for lawyers, IT specialists and researchers interested in cybersecurity and legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence.
