IRRUPTION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ALONG WITH THE NO LONGER SO NEW INFORMATION AND TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES, IN RELATION TO THE SECURITY OF STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURES -SPECIAL CASE OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM-

Abstract

Currently two elements stand as technological pillars of civilization. On the one hand, the sources and generation of energy, on the other hand, the information. Both elements, energy and information together with the complex technologies for its generation, management, distribution and consumption are not unrelated to security.

The new algorithms and paradigms in relation to Artificial Intelligence (AI) together with the high computing capacity achieved, have caused an irruption of AI in many areas of life. Supporting and assisting in decision-making, when not substituting in many cases already, the human decision for the decision of the machine.

This new reality becomes evident and inalienable in the management of the most complex technological systems and architectures, some of which provide essential services to the citizen.

This study aims to address different visions such as the normative, technical and technological vision, on the irruption of AI and the not so new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), in one of the main strategic sectors, energy, specifically the electricity sector.
