Artificial intelligence: Technological, security and legal aspects

Artificial intelligence as a new fast-growing technology of the 21st century brings us many new opportunities, but also poses some new challenges. In the techno-logical sense, artificial intelligence represents software that has advanced capabilities for rapid analysis of huge amounts of data and that can be trained to not only make decisions independently, based on pre-set parameters, but also to implement them into action, either exclusively through software or applied to hardware equipment of different types. Therefore, artificial intelligence cannot be defined uniquely, but we can see and classify it in different ways, according to the different angles from which we observe its development and application. However, one should take into account its shortcomings and the possibil-ity of errors that the use of this new technology can lead to. On the security side, artificial intelligence also brings us numerous new opportunities, but also new risks, which we must be aware of. These can be risks arising from the very use of artificial intelligence, which in certain cases can turn from an advantage into a weak point of the systems in which it is applied. The improvement of the security sector through the use of these new software tools is reflected, among other things, in speeding up the flow and increasing the accuracy of information, as well as in lowering the costs of numerous bureaucratic and logistical activities within the army, police or border police. However, the advantages of artificial intelligence are currently most evident in the field of cyber security. From the legal point of view, artificial intelligence brings us mostly only numerous challenges, given that it is a technology, a human creation, which is able to independently, if we allowed it, to make decisions and take actions, which sets a precedent in human history. However, it is necessary to find a balance between regulation and rapid development, and not allow the fear that new technologies inevitably bring when we do not know them, to affect the real use and the further growth and development of the opportunities provided by a tech-nology as powerful as artificial intelligence.
