Atificial intelligence is a type of simulation of human intelligence in computers and machines that enables them to behave like humans. This emerging phenomenon possesses capabilities such as thinking, decision-making, learning, and problem-solving. In addition to influencing all aspects of contemporary and future human life, artificial intelligence can profoundly transform many issues and concepts in international relations. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to examine the impact of artificial intelligence on the key concepts of international relations theories.
The main research question is: “What effects does artificial intelligence have on theories of international relations?” The findings of this study, obtained through a descriptive-analytical method, indicate that artificial intelligence has transformed the concepts of three major theories—realism, liberalism, and constructivism—at both theoretical and practical levels.
The three core concepts of realism (power, security, and war), the three core concepts of liberalism (economy, democracy, and peace), and the three core concepts of constructivism (norms, structure, and agency) are among the most important assumptions of these theories. With the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, these concepts have undergone significant changes. Without considering information technologies and artificial intelligence, these theories will no longer be able to adequately analyze contemporary international relations.
