The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is fundamentally transforming the cybersecurity landscape, creating a paradoxical situation. On the one hand, AI has become an indispensable tool for defenders, allowing them to automate threat detection, analyze behavioral anomalies, and promptly respond to incidents in the face of huge amounts of data. On the other hand, these same technologies are actively used by hackers to create sophisticated phishing attacks, generate polymorphic malware and produce convincing deepfakes, which significantly reduces the threshold for entry into cybercrime and increases the effectiveness of attacks. The relevance of the research is due to the need to understand this dual nature of AI and develop strategies that would maximize the protective potential of the technology while minimizing the risks associated with it. The purpose of the article is to analyze the security problems generated and exacerbated by AI, and to develop a comprehensive adaptive protection model based on them. As an author's development, the concept of an integrated cybersecurity platform based on the principles of machine learning security, hybrid human-machine analytics and proactive data privacy protection is proposed. The practical significance of the work lies in structuring a step-by-step approach to building systems resistant to modern threats, balancing technological efficiency and ethical and legal requirements.
