Abstract

 
This paper explores the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on international relations, with a particular focus on international politics theories. Assuming a future in which international relations studies center on AI and its applications, this paper employs an analytical-descriptive approach to address the question: How does the Computer-Related Self-Concept bring about fundamental changes in international relations theory? The results indicate that computing and algorithmic systems, through the reproduction of innovative indicators in international relations theories and the application of AI’s military, security, political, economic, and legal functions, significantly influence the evolution of international relations.
