Statecraft, long considered an art requiring years of study and profound human behavioral insight, is now entering an era defined by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Traditionally guided by complex emotions and the aspiration to create a better world, the practice of governance is increasingly being transformed by technologies capable of solving problems at unprecedented speeds. Yet, alongside these remarkable opportunities lies a substantial ethical quandary: there is no clear consensus on the responsible deployment of AI in governance. As AI evolves at a rapid pace—transforming from a specialized computational tool to a critical component of the social sciences—it is imperative to understand how this technology will shape the future of International Relations and policymaking.
