Artificial Intelligence: Unpacking Political, Rhetorical, and Security Factors

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Proliferation of Weapons- and Dual-Use Technologies

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled capabilities have advanced considerably in the last decade and are expected to see increased employment by states and potentially by non-state actors in the ensuing years. This chapter explores how political, rhetorical, and security factors surrounding the research and development of AI-enabled capabilities interact and considers the implications for geopolitics. The widespread emphasis on the importance of AI globally, especially in the context of military capabilities and balance of power, is uncontested politically, and concurrently, it is also an area in need of more investigation by scholars.
