Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasing concern for national cybersecurity in most countries, the Republic is no exception. The Republic of Congo is among the growing number of African countries to enact various legislation on cyber security and is also part of the African Convention on Cybersecurity and Personal Data Protection. Therefore, the country has three major laws: the Personal Data Protection Law, the Cybersecurity, and the law Cybercrime Law. These three laws although sufficient to tackle the most basic aspect of cybersecurity, do not provide room for AI, leaving a void in its use, integration in cybersecurity protection and protection against foreign body attacks especially those using AI as a tool or target. The ideal course of action will be for the Congo to take immediate action to solve this issue. While solving this issue, the country can rely on an extensive interpretation of its current laws to secure national cyberspace. The development of international norms on AI will be a great help in the fact that it will boost national cybersecurity by deterring the rise of dangerous AI use.
