The impact of AI regulation on cybersecurity legislation in public administration

(Part 1)

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is significantly changing the functioning of various areas of social and economic life, including public administration. This technology brings new opportunities, such as process automation, more efficient data processing, and the provision of higher-quality services to citizens. On the other hand, AI also introduces new threats, particularly in the field of cybersecurity, as it increases the risks of attacks on digital systems and infrastructure. Therefore, it is essential that the existing cybersecurity legislation in public administration adapts to these technological changes. The aim of this article is to analyze in detail how AI regulation impacts cybersecurity legislation in the public administration of the Slovak Republic. A key part of the research will focus on the thorough analysis of the effects of the European Union regulation no. 2024/1689, known as the Artificial Intelligence Act, on legal provisions related to cybersecurity and their practical application. The outcome will be the identification of key areas where amendments and updates to the legislative framework are required.
