How Will AI Influence Global Relationships?

March 17, 2024

Jeremy Kedziora, Ph.D., Endowed Chair of Artificial Intelligence at Milwaukee School of Engineering, explores the nuanced impact of AI on global relationships. AI serves as a unifying force, pulling countries together through economic ties fostered by multinational companies with global interests. These companies, developing AI capabilities, become catalysts for positive international relations. Additionally, AI acts as a tool for cultural understanding, allowing individuals from diverse backgrounds to learn about and appreciate each other. However, Kedziora acknowledges the push side, emphasizing the potential for competition and conflicts over AI control and governance standards. The need for responsible regulation is crucial to prevent unintended consequences, echoing concerns akin to those surrounding climate change.
