The purpose of the article is to analyze the possibilities of using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the field of defense and national security of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The paper examines current trends and prospects for the introduction of AI into military systems, as well as identifies key issues hindering the development of this area. The methodological basis of the study was a comparative analysis of foreign experience, the regulatory framework of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as elements of a systematic approach and content analysis of open sources. As a result, it has been established that AI is already having a significant impact on the transformation of warfare, command, intelligence, and logistics systems. The analysis showed that effective implementation of AI in the armed forces of Kazakhstan requires coordination between government agencies, scientific organizations and the private sector. The article offers recommendations for creating a unified strategy for the development of AI in the field of defense with an emphasis on cybersecurity, autonomous systems and personnel training. It is concluded that it is necessary to integrate AI into the national security system to counter modern threats and strengthen the country's defense capability.
