Artificial Intelligence and Security Politics
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a key driver of changes in the economy, society, and the state. As a result, it also has become a crucial issue in national and international political debates. In this theme, we focus on the effects of AI on defense and foreign policy as well as on internal security and democracy. In particular, we look at the anticipated changes in war and conflict caused by AI-based applications, the competition over AI-technology and resulting shifts in power, the regulation and governance of AI, and changes in the activities of intelligence services.
