In recent years, following the end of the COVID-19 crisis, the term artificial intelligence (AI) has become omnipresent in public discourse. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, artificial intelligence is “the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior.” This emerging phenomenon is receiving great attention. In truth, it is neither a new concept nor a new occurrence, as AI began gradually developing in 1956 with a scientific conference in Dartmouth. Since then, AI has experienced both advances and setbacks, having been most utilized in fields such as the military, medicine, robotics, and education.
Over time, artificial intelligence has significantly advanced. Today, ordinary people around the world can use basic smart computer models, but there is little doubt that the centers of global power—national governments, intelligence agencies, and various organizations—possess models that are ten or more years ahead of what is publicly available.
An Indispensable Tool of Our Time
Many analysts warn that artificial intelligence will replace and subordinate human beings. This is a highly debatable claim, as AI is not some superior “divine” entity, but rather a technology created by flesh-and-blood humans with all their imperfections. Similarly, when the Industrial Revolution emerged in the 18th century, many feared machines would replace humans. That did not happen. It is unlikely AI will do so either. However, it is evident that individuals who do not use AI tools will be unable to keep up with those who do. The same applies to the international political arena.
