THE GEOPOLITICS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: COMPETITION, CONTROL, AND ETHICS

Аннотация

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal element in global strategic competition, reshaping power dynamics among nations. This paper explores the geopolitical ramifications of AI development and deployment, focusing on the rivalry between major powers, governance challenges, and ethical concerns associated with unchecked AI proliferation. By examining recent initiatives in the United States, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the European Union (EU), the study highlights strategic motivations behind AI investments. It also explores responses from international institutions and the Global South in establishing ethical AI norms. The paper argues that fostering global cooperation, inclusive governance, and ethical commitments is essential to ensure AI contributes positively to international peace and development.
