Artificial Intelligence in Political Science and International Relations: Opportunities, Challenges, and Global Governance Perspectives

This paper explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fields of Political Science and International Relations. It examines how AI-driven tools enhance data analysis, policy forecasting, and crisis management, while also reshaping global security, diplomacy, and governance structures. The study highlights both the opportunities—such as improved decision-making, transparency, and international cooperation—and the challenges, including disinformation, democratic risks, ethical dilemmas, and security threats. The paper concludes that the integration of AI into politics and international affairs requires robust ethical frameworks, international policy coordination, and inclusive governance to ensure AI serves peace, development, and global stability.
