Abstract

Technological revolution brought major changes in the system framework of strategic stability. Artificial intelligence (AI) thrives internationally as a disruptive technology and is applied to many fields in the 21st century. This paper evaluates the strength, limitations, and impacts of AI-empowered military application on international strategic stability. Applications of AI technology for military purpose brings both positive and negative impact on nations’ defending and offending, so the international strategic stability. However, the impact of AI on international strategic stability is mainly negative. For facing stability challenges, nations shall formulate systematic governance of military AI; the global community shall promote friendly multilateral cooperation between each other. In the end, this view offers significant implications for maintaining international strategic stability and improving AI governance capabilities in the foreseeable future.
