Artificial intelligence is no longer merely a technological advancement it has become a new focal point for the global balance of power. Just as nuclear technology transformed state startegy in the twentieth century today AI data and advanced chips are shaping the trajectory of global politics.
From a realistic perspective state compete for power with an anarchic system. The export restrictions on semi conductors between the United States and China exemplify liberal institutionaslism emphasizes cooperation the European Union AI Act and the ongoing United Nations discussion regarding autonomous weapons are manifestation of this approach.
In diplomacy, Artificial intelligence can assist with translation the early detection of crises and data analysis.However deep fakes and misinformation undermine mutual trust between states while autonomous weapons challenge the ethical and legal principles of warfare.
Furthermore, the monopoly held by a few powerful states and corporations over this technology could exacerbate digital inequality.Countries like Pakistan must move beyond being mere consumer's and instead engage in research skill development and the formulation of global norms.
Ultimately the future depends on whether the world treats AI as a tool for competition or as a vehicle for collective cooperation.
