The convergence of AI and cybersecurity presents significant challenges to sovereignty and strategic autonomy, creating a cyber-sovereignty gap that undermines traditional state control. AI offers critical capabilities in threat detection through data analysis; however it raises ethical concerns about monitoring costs and pervasive risk prevention. Balancing individual autonomy with collective protection is essential, but implementing effective risk management strategies is challenging in cybersecurity. Collaboration and resilience-building are essential, recognizing AI’s role in both security and critical infrastructure safety. This necessitates strategic partnerships that extend beyond state-centered risk management to address broader global concerns, acknowledging AI’s multifaceted nature and the imperative for ethical considerations in the digital era. Ultimately, addressing these challenges requires a political commitment to fostering partnerships that promote both security and ethical considerations.
