AI Propulsion of Globalization

The invention and continual growth of artificial intelligence (AI) on the global stage have significantly shaped the world’s economies, governments, societies and their cultures. The new industrial revolution and the subsequent race of the world’s leading powers have led to increased international joint efforts and exchange of information, simultaneously reducing barriers to trade and communication. Meanwhile, emerging technologies deploying AI have driven changes in human behavior and culture, and challenged the traditional nation-state model. Within the same time frame, the world stage has undergone profound transformations with a clear trend of globalization, the tightening of international relations and closer cooperation in spheres such as security, trade, and human rights protection. This tendency has been explained by different theories and processes, but few sources examine the link between the simultaneous widening application of AI-based solutions and global expansion. This research proposal will further investigate and support how the development of artificial intelligence is propelling globalization, exerting certain negative influences on the Western world. To this end, a wide array of academic sources from different countries ought to be considered to reflect varying perspectives. Among the primary references are works fully dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence and its specific applications, while others include an analysis of global expansion, relevant trends, and prospective outcomes. The qualitative methods applied to research will allow an in-depth analysis and comparison of data critical to establishing the previously overlooked relationship between the advancement of AI and globalization. This, in turn, will challenge prevailing theories and explanations of the accelerating vehicle of global expansion in the political, economic, and social spheres.
