აბსტრაქტი. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created a fundamental paradox, simultaneously weaponizing cyber threats to an unprecedented degree and offering the only viable path to a resilient defense. This necessitates a paradigm shift from static, procedural hygiene to a dynamic, automated, and intelligent model. This paper synthesizes recent literature, industry reports, and empirical data to analyze this dual-use phenomenon, arguing that the paradox extends beyond software to the integrity of the hardware supply chain and the emerging frontier of neuro-security. Key findings reveal that AI-driven attacks, particularly in social engineering, are rendering traditional defenses obsolete. In response, AI-powered solutions for threat detection, automated hygiene, and adaptive user training are becoming critical. The paper presents a framework for "Intelligent Hygiene" that spans software, hardware, and cognition, arguing that for nations like Georgia, which stand at a geopolitical crossroads, navigating this paradox is a matter of national security. The analysis concludes that mastering the full spectrum of the AI-Hygiene Paradox is the central challenge for security practitioners in the current era.
