Mechanisms of Advanced International Psychological Security in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) influences all branches of international law, including economic and health law but also humanitarian and human rights law. Nevertheless, the most important challenges imposed by the malicious use of AI (MUAI) are not limited to the modernization of some fundamental principles of international law. This paper addresses mechanisms of advanced international psychological security in the age of AI. Three specific mechanisms are discussed in this study. A conclusion in this paper is that optimal actions are needed because AI is strengthening the role of transnational corporations in international society at the expense of the role of governments and states. While companies’ investments in AI are motivated purely by economic profits, states are left with the responsibility of guaranteeing international psychological security. Rethinking global systems has thus become an obligation rather than a choice.
