The Role of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Rebuilding the Post-war Economy and Ensuring Cyber Security: An Example from Ukraine
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper explores the dual role of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in Ukraine’s post-war economic recovery and cybersecurity using Agent-Based Modeling (ABM). The simulation reveals that sectors like manufacturing and banking rapidly adopt AI due to clear productivity and security benefits, leading to positive spillover effects across the broader economy. However, slower adoption in sectors such as agriculture and retail highlights the need for government intervention, such as subsidies and tax incentives, to ensure a balanced recovery. In cybersecurity, AI-enhanced defence mechanisms significantly improve threat detection and response, though they also introduce new vulnerabilities, requiring continuous system updates to stay ahead of evolving threats. The findings emphasise the importance of strategic AI adoption and adaptive cybersecurity policies in Ukraine’s post-war context, with implications for future economic stability and national security. The study also identifies critical areas for future research, including data validation and further exploration of AI vulnerabilities.
