Annotation: In recent years, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has led to profound changes in various fields. Notably, the application of AI in the field of demographic policy is expanding significantly. This article analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence technologies on demographic policy, explores innovative approaches in this area, examines their social and ethical implications, and identifies the main challenges in managing these technologies along with possible solutions. Demographic policy is a tool used by the state to influence the size, structure, distribution, and social composition of the population to ensure long-term socio-economic development. Traditionally, this policy relied on statistical analysis, surveys, and population censuses. However, today, with the help of AI tools, large volumes of data can be analyzed in real time, allowing for more accurate, flexible, and individualized decision-making in policymaking. For example, AI can now be used to forecast various demographic factors such as migration patterns, birth rates, public health conditions, labor market demands, and educational needs. However, alongside these technological advances, a range of ethical, legal, and social issues are also emerging. First and foremost, concerns arise regarding the algorithms used by AI systems in decision-making—particularly their potential biases and unfairness, which may infringe on the rights of certain social groups. In some cases, the use of AI in demographic policymaking can result in the implementation of coercive regulations and surveillance systems that violate human rights. For instance, attempts in some countries to manage birth rates through AI-driven interventions are perceived as infringements on individual freedom of choice. Moreover, data privacy remains a critical issue. AI systems process vast amounts of personal and biometric data, which can lead to increased public mistrust. If this information is misused or inadequately protected, there is a risk it could be exploited by external forces or commercial entities. This article focuses on analyzing the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on demographic policy. In particular, it investigates how AI tools are affecting political decision-making through their use in areas such as public health, birth rate monitoring, migration management, and population registration. Special attention is paid to the ethical concerns that arise in this context—such as data privacy, algorithmic discrimination, and the potential for increased social inequality. The study explores possible solutions to these challenges, including the importance of ethical standards, legal frameworks, and public oversight in the development and implementation of AI. The article highlights the positive opportunities that AI offers for demographic policymaking, while emphasizing a cautious and principle-based approach to its integration.
