Аналіз та обґрунтування запровадження і використання штучного інтелекту для потреб сектору безпеки та оборони України

The article substantiates the necessity of systematically introducing artificial-intelligence (AI) technologies into Ukraine’s security and defense sector amid Russia’s armed aggression and the escalation of cyber-threats. Drawing on domestic and international experience, the authors identify five key areas of AI application: OSINT for monitoring troop movements, detecting sabotage, and forecasting crises; protection of critical information infrastructure through behavioral analytics and anomaly-detection systems; digital forensics with automated restoration of digital traces and evidence evaluation; support to information and psychological operations via rapid generation of context-sensitive multimedia content; detection and neutralization of adversary disinformation campaigns. The main barriers to scaling AI solutions are outlined: information overload, scarcity of validated datasets, adversarial attacks, algorithmic opacity, and the ethical-legal constraints of autonomous systems. To overcome these challenges, the authors propose a set of organizational measures (state standards, tool certification, systematic workforce training) and technological measures (multi-level data verification, federated learning, backup control loops, and human-machine hybrid models). The results provide a methodological foundation for state policy, the design of mission-critical digital platforms, and the enhancement of Ukraine’s national-security legal and regulatory framework.
