Streszczenie
Celem pracy jest analiza wpływu sztucznej inteligencji na bezpieczeństwo informacyjne
Internetu jako kluczowego medium współczesnej cywilizacji. Rozdział bada transformację
Internetu z tradycyjnej infrastruktury komunikacyjnej w złożone środowisko algorytmiczne,
w którym systemy generatywne, rekomendacyjne i agentowe aktywnie współuczestniczą
w procesach poznawczych, komunikacyjnych i decyzyjnych użytkowników.
Przedmiotem analizy są korzyści, zagrożenia oraz wyzwania regulacyjne wynikające
z dynamicznego rozwoju technologii AI. W pracy zastosowano metodę przeglądu literatury
naukowej i raportów instytucjonalnych z lat 2023-2025, w tym publikacji OECD,
UNESCO, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, Europolu, DataReportal, Nature Machine Intelligence oraz ACM. Dokonano krytycznej analizy
najważniejszych modeli generatywnych i systemów algorytmicznych wpływających na
środowisko informacyjne, obejmującej zarówno aspekty technologiczne, jak i społeczne.
Uwzględniono również aktualne ramy regulacyjne, takie jak Artificial Intelligence Act
UE czy amerykańskie Executive Orders. Analiza ma charakter jakościowy i opiera się na
metodzie studiów przypadków (case-based review) oraz analizie porównawczej aktualnych
podejść regulacyjnych. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że sztuczna inteligencja
stała się jednym z kluczowych mechanizmów współczesnego Internetu, wpływając na
sposób organizacji i kontroli informacji. Modele generatywne i systemy rekomendacyjne
zwiększają efektywność dostępu do wiedzy, lecz jednocześnie wzmacniają zagrożenia
informacyjne, takie jak dezinformacja generatywna, manipulacja poznawcza, nieprzejrzystość
algorytmów oraz erozja autonomii poznawczej użytkowników. Stwierdzono
również rosnące znaczenie systemów agentowych i „Internetu agentów”, które radykalnie
zmieniają strukturę uczestników ekosystemu informacyjnego. Ponadto odnotowano
znaczące różnice w tempie i zakresie wdrażania regulacji AI między regionami świata.
Sztuczna inteligencja redefiniuje Internet jako środowisko informacyjne, przekształcając
go w układ kognitywno-algorytmiczny współtworzony przez ludzi i systemy autonomiczne.
Odpowiedzialne wykorzystanie AI wymaga wzmocnienia infrastruktury regulacyjnej,
wprowadzenia mechanizmów audytu algorytmicznego, budowania odporności cyfrowej
społeczeństwa oraz rozwijania kompetencji krytycznych użytkowników. Internet przyszłości
będzie środowiskiem współpracy człowieka i inteligentnych systemów, jednak
warunkiem zachowania zaufania społecznego i integralności informacyjnej jest transparentne,
etyczne i kontrolowane wdrażanie technologii AI.
The aim of this study is to examine the influence of artificial intelligence on the information security of the Internet as a key medium of contemporary civilisation. The article investigates the transformation of the Internet from a traditional communication infrastructure into a complex algorithmic environment in which generative, recommender, and agent-based systems actively participate in users’ cognitive, communicative, and decision-making processes. The study focuses on the benefits, risks, and regulatory challenges arising from the rapid development of AI technologies. The study applies a qualitative literature review of scientific publications and institutional reports from 2023-2025, including sources from OECD, UNESCO, Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, Europolu, DataReportal, Europol, DataReportal, Nature Machine Intelligence, and ACM. A critical analysis of the main generative models and algorithmic systems shaping the contemporary information environment was conducted, encompassing technological, social, and epistemic perspectives. Current regulatory frameworks – such as the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and U.S. Executive Orders – were examined using comparative policy analysis. Additionally, selected case studies were used to identify emerging risks and societal impacts of algorithmic systems. The findings indicate that artificial intelligence has become a central mechanism of the modern Internet, reshaping how information is organised, interpreted, and distributed. Generative models and recommendation systems enhance access to knowledge but simultaneously amplify information security threats, including generative disinformation, cognitive manipulation, algorithmic opacity, and the erosion of users’ cognitive autonomy. The analysis also reveals the growing importance of agent-based systems and the emerging “agentic Internet,” which fundamentally alters the structure of participants in the digital ecosystem. Significant regional disparities were identified in the development and enforcement of AI regulations. Artificial intelligence is redefining the Internet as an information environment, transforming it into a cognitivealgorithmic system co-constructed by humans and autonomous technologies. Ensuring responsible AI adoption requires strengthening regulatory infrastructures, implementing algorithmic audit mechanisms, fostering digital resilience, and developing users’ critical competencies. The future Internet will increasingly rely on collaboration between humans and intelligent systems; however, maintaining public trust and safeguarding information integrity will depend on transparent, ethical, and accountable AI governance.
