Challenges for the national security of poland associated with the development of modern technologies

Abstract

Rapid technological developments pose a serious challenge to Poland's national security. They have a direct impact on elementary aspects of national security, such as the fight against terrorism, ensuring the security of state institutions in cyberspace and guaranteeing the continuous military development necessary to counter both conventional and hybrid threats. The functioning of state entities and their citizens requires constant adaptation to the dynamically changing environment on the international arena. Poland, standing up for its national interests, must be in constant readiness to face the above-mentioned challenges. This requires making the best possible use of the opportunities and mitigating the threats associated with the constant multisectoral development of technology. With the problem situation outlined in this way, the main research problem of the article is formulated in the form of the question: Which challenges related to technological development have a significant impact on Poland's national security?
