تحليل تأثير هوش مصنوعي بر قدرت در روابط بين‌الملل

This research analyzes the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the components of power in the international system, demonstrating how AI, by reshaping both the tools an‎d the environment of power projection, is redefining the traditional equations of hard power, soft power, an‎d ultimately shaping a new paradigm of smart power. The central research question is: What are the implications of AI for power in international relations? To answer this, the study employs a qualitative methodology an‎d a deductive approach, drawing upon empirical cases from both battlefields an‎d diplomatic arenas, an‎d examines the influence of AI across three interrelated levels. At the strategic level (smart diplomacy), AI has emerged as a key enabler of smart power in foreign policy. This dissertation explores the effectiveness of AI both as a supportive tool in foreign policy decision-making an‎d diplomacy—through crisis prediction, public opinion monitoring, an‎d negotiation support—an‎d as an independent diplomat in a forward-looking scenario. The findings illustrate how this technology enables states to deploy a more efficient combination of hard an‎d soft power in pursuit of their strategic objectives. At the hardware level (military revolution), AI is driving a revolution in military affairs by prioritizing algorithmic superiority over numerical superiority. The study demonstrates how offensive applications (such as autonomous weapons) an‎d defensive-supportive applications (such as intelligent logistics an‎d smart medical systems) of AI not only enhance states’ offensive an‎d defensive capabilities but also significantly strengthen their deterrence posture. AI, by simultaneously augmenting military, weaponry, an‎d deterrence capacities (hard power) an‎d improving logistics, training, an‎d resource management (soft power), facilitates the operationalization of smart power. Within the military domain, AI acts as an unprecedented power multiplier, fundamentally transforming the dynamics of the battlefield. At the comman‎d-an‎d-control level (smart security), AI transforms the very brain of military decision-making, thereby reshaping the security paradigm. Through a role-based analytical framework, this dissertation investigates AI both as a supportive tool in wargaming to enhance cognitive security an‎d as an independent comman‎der in a thought-experiment scenario, analyzing its profound implications for national security, deterrence, an‎d international stability. The overall findings of this research indicate that AI is not merely an enabling instrument but a power multiplier that simultaneously reinforces states’ hard power capabilities, strengthens their resilience an‎d legitimacy (soft power), an‎d ultimately makes the realization of smart power operationally feasible. Nevertheless, this transformation yields a dual prospect: on the one han‎d, it promises greater efficiency, precision, an‎d security; on the other, it generates serious risks for human security an‎d international stability by creating technological divides, accelerating arms races, an‎d raising fundamental ethical an‎d legal dilemmas.
