Artificial Intelligence and National Security Implications
Research Guide
What is Artificial Intelligence and National Security Implications?
Artificial Intelligence and National Security Implications examines AI's role in surveillance, military applications, strategic competition, and governance challenges across global contexts including BRICS and the EU.
Research analyzes legal status of AI in public sectors (Atabekov, 2023, 35 citations) and comparative regulation in BRICS versus EU (Cyman et al., 2021, 30 citations). Studies cover cybersecurity strategies (Abrahams et al., 2024, 39 citations) and national security mechanisms (Lipinsky and Makareyko, 2020, 16 citations). Over 200 papers address AI's geopolitical impacts since 2020.
Why It Matters
AI shapes national security through regulatory frameworks that balance innovation and threats, as in EU digital constitutionalism (De Gregorio, 2021, 116 citations) influencing global standards. BRICS-EU regulation comparisons (Cyman et al., 2021) guide policies preventing arms races and biases in military AI. Legal responsibility mechanisms (Lipinsky and Makareyko, 2020) ensure accountability amid cyber threats (Abrahams et al., 2024), affecting geopolitical power dynamics.
Key Research Challenges
Regulatory Harmonization Across Regions
Differing AI legal statuses in Romano-Germanic, Anglo-Saxon, and socialist systems complicate global standards (Atabekov, 2023). BRICS and EU approaches diverge on enforcement (Cyman et al., 2021). Harmonization lags behind rapid AI deployment in security contexts.
Cybersecurity in AI-Driven Defense
Evolving digital threats challenge organizational strategies for AI-integrated data protection (Abrahams et al., 2024). Cryptographic tools counter economic crimes but face enforcement gaps (Somik and Khabibulin, 2020). National security mechanisms underexploit AI capabilities.
Legal Accountability for AI Systems
Defining responsibility in national security AI lacks unified frameworks (Lipinsky and Makareyko, 2020). Digitalization introduces threats without adequate normative orders (Kuksin and Khoda, 2020). Public sector implementation varies by jurisdiction (Atabekov, 2023).

Reading Guide
Foundational Papers
No pre-2015 foundational papers available; start with De Gregorio (2021, 116 citations) for EU digital policy shift as baseline for security implications.
Recent Advances
Prioritize Abrahams et al. (2024, 39 citations) for cybersecurity strategies; Atabekov (2023, 35 citations) for global AI legal status; Cyman et al. (2021, 30 citations) for BRICS-EU comparisons.
Core Methods
Comparative legal analysis (Atabekov, 2023), strategy reviews (Abrahams et al., 2024), and normative mechanism studies (Lipinsky and Makareyko, 2020) form core techniques.
