The article discusses aspects related to the use of modern IT solutions by foreign countries for the purposes of monitoring compliance with sanctions legislation in relation to the Russian Federation, as well as ways to inform the domestic business community about the possibility of taking into account restrictive measures taken against it. The approaches to the definition of the concept of digital sovereignty are analyzed and its criteria are formulated. Based on the analysis of regulatory and doctrinal sources, it is shown that AI technologies are inextricably linked with ensuring national digital sovereignty, and the level of legal regulation should meet the demands of the present time.
