The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and International Relations

The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Geopolitics examines how machines, algorithms, and data are reshaping the way nations interact, negotiate, and navigate global politics. 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. This book looks at both the ways in which AI is transforming the landscape of international relations and the challenges this brings. The book includes discussions on: The need for regulations and oversight to make sure that AI is used in an ethical way. AIs 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 AI. How the choices we make today will define the contours of global equilibrium for generations to come. With a variety contributions from policy analysts, philosophers, government officials, scientists, researchers, and business representatives, this book will appeal to students and researchers of political science, international relations, computer science, and ethics. It will also hold interest for professionals in government organisations and NGOs at national and international levels.
