ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A TOOL FOR PROTECTING ECONOMIC INFORMATION

Abstract

Information security is becoming a key condition for the sustainable development of the economy, as the digitalization of business is accompanied by an increase in the number of cyber attacks on confidential economic information. Based on the analysis of regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation in the field of information security, statistical data from Rosstat, the Central Bank of Russia and Forbes, as well as modern scientific research and cases of the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), it is shown that traditional methods of protection do not provide an adequate level of protection of economic data. It has been revealed that the state consistently forms a comprehensive system for countering economic crimes, but the scale of cybercrime remains significant. The key role of artificial intelligence as a strategic tool for detecting and preventing illegal transactions through the analysis of big data, the use of machine learning algorithms, generative models, biometric technologies and quantum computing is substantiated. Recommendations on the integration of AI solutions into the practice of government regulation and corporate economic information protection systems are formulated, taking into account the need for a balance between the reliability of protective mechanisms and the convenience of their use.
