The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Global Governance and Political Decision-Making

Suman Debbarma

Abstract: AI has become a disruptive entity in the world government and political decision-making, altering the way states, institutions and leaders relate with citizens and the world. Its amalgamation with political systems has helped governments to utilize big data, predictive analytic systems and automated decision-support systems in developing much efficient policies, managing crises, and solving conflicts. Artificial intelligence technologies have become essential in detecting threats in the world, strengthening diplomatic discussions, and influencing the elections by voter profiling and targeted campaigns. Meanwhile, AI has increased the pace of geopolitical rivalry, producing new asymmetries of power between tech-heavy and developing countries and sparking discussions around the concepts of sovereignty, independence, and safety. Although it might be useful, AI also poses deep dangers to human rights and democracy. Opaque decision-making, algorithmic bias, and disinformation campaigns led by deep fakes undermine the public trust and electoral integrity. Authoritarian regimes are even better enabled by the emergence of AI-enhanced surveillance, and this circumstance poses ethical issues of privacy, accountability, and the legitimacy of governance. This article discusses the duality of AI as a facilitator of effective governance and a risk to political stability. It makes the case that we should immediately have inclusive global governance frameworks, develop ethical AI standards, and have developing countries equally participate in the development of regulations. It is only through a balance between innovation and accountability that AI can make global democracy and political order stronger and not weaker.

Keywords: artificial intelligence, political governance, algorithmic bias, global democracy, ethical regulation
