Abstract

21. yüzyılın en dönüştürücü teknolojilerinden biri olan yapay zekâ, tüm alanları olduğu gibi uluslararası ilişkiler alanını da birçok yönden etkilemektedir. Dil işleme, görüntü ve ses tanıma, makine öğrenimi, derin öğrenme, otonom hareket etme, veri analitiği ve öngörü gibi çok yönlü kullanım alanları bulunan yapay zekâ teknolojileri ekonomiyi, sosyopolitiği, güvenliği, askeri teknolojileri ve daha nicesini derinden etkilemektedir. Bu yönü ile yapay zekâ teknolojileri küresel güç dengelerini değiştirip dönüştürebilecek bir kapasite oluşumuna işaret etmektedir. Bu makale, özellikle yapay zekânın uluslararası güvenlikteki rolünü önde gelen uluslararası teorilerine dayanarak farklı açılardan ele alır. Böylece çalışma boyunca yapay zekânın veri analizi, siber güvenlik, istihbarat ve askeri stratejilerdeki uygulamalarına odaklanılmış ve söz konusu alandaki etik kaygılar bağlamında uluslararası düzenlemelerin ve disiplinler arası iş birliğinin gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır. Araştırmada, yapay zekânın uluslararası ilişkiler üzerindeki etkilerini incelemek için nitel araştırma yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın teorik çerçevesini oluşturmak için özellikle yapay zekâ, teknoloji ve uluslararası güvenlik konularını ele alan literatür taranmıştır. Ayrıca yapay zekânın uluslararası ilişkilerdeki etkilerini somut örneklerle analiz etmek için haber kaynakları incelenmiş ve çeşitli vaka çalışmaları yapılmıştır.

International Relations and Artificial Intelligence: An Assessment in terms of International Security

Abstract

One of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) has a profound impact on a multitude of domains, including international relations. The areas of language processing, image and audio recognition, machine learning, deep learning, autonomous navigation, data analytics, and prediction are just a few of the many applications of artificial intelligence. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is having a profound impact on various sectors, including economics, sociopolitics, security, and military technology. This capacity for change and transformation is indicative of the potential of artificial intelligence technologies to alter global power dynamics. This article, based on leading international theories, examines artificial intelligence’s role in international security from different perspectives. The study thus focuses on the applications of artificial intelligence in data analysis, cybersecurity, intelligence, and military strategy. Moreover, the necessity for international regulations and interdisciplinary collaboration in this field has been emphasized. The research employed rigorous qualitative research methods to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on international relations. In order to establish the theoretical framework of the study, a review of the literature was conducted, focusing on artificial intelligence, technology, and international security. Furthermore, the impact of artificial intelligence on international relations has been investigated through the analysis of news sources and the implementation of case studies.
