In the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed from a theoretical wonder to a real force, and with it the race to dominate new technologies is proving to be a key geopolitical concern.
The panel discussion aims at presenting the forthcoming Handbook on AI and International Relations(https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Handbook-of-Artificial-Intelligence-and-International-Relations/Brasioli-Guercio-GnerreLandini-deGiorgio/p/book/9781032850139).
Discussions will focus on the ways in which AI is transforming the landscape of international relations and the challenges this brings and on the need for regulations and oversight to make sure that AI is used in an ethical way; AI’s role in conflict resolution and peacekeeping and its influence on economic alliances; the ethical and moral dilemmas posed by autonomous systems making life-or-death decisions; frameworks that ensure responsible and accountable use of A; how the choices we make today will define the contours of global equilibrium for generations to come.
AI significantly impacts trust in international relations by influencing perceptions of reliability and transparency among nations. As countries integrate AI into decision-making and security frameworks, concerns arise about the ethical use of these technologies, particularly regarding surveillance and information manipulation. The ability of AI to alter diplomatic dynamics necessitates new norms and standards to foster mutual trust. Establishing clear guidelines for AI deployment can enhance cooperation and reduce fears of misuse, ultimately shaping a more stable international landscape in the face of rapid technological evolution.
