CROSS-BORDER RELATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEVELOPMENT: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS

Abstract

Abstract.  The aim of this article is to explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) development on the nature of cross-border relations in the context of global digitalization. Special attention is given to the analysis of challenges related to the integration of AI into international interactions, including ethical dilemmas, information security threats, regulatory issues, and socio-economic transformations driven by emerging technologies. The article examines key opportunities for utilizing AI to optimize cross-border cooperation, such as automating communications, processing large data volumes, and supporting decision-making in crisis situations. Using methods of theoretical analysis, comparison, and case study examination, the study investigates AI’s influence on the dynamics of interstate relations. Particular emphasis is placed on preserving state sovereignty and ensuring equal access to innovation in the digital age. The paper analyzes national approaches to integrating AI into foreign policy, as well as examples of cooperation between tech companies and governments. It concludes that effective governance of AI development in the cross-border dimension requires a comprehensive approach combining technical solutions with political, legal, and ethical mechanisms. Recommendations are proposed for building a resilient model of international coexistence in the age of artificial intelligence.
