Artificial Intelligence & The Future of Humanity, M. Mustafa Erdoğdu,Edgar Záyago Lau,Armida Concepción García, Editör, IJOPEC Publication Limited, London, ss.49-71, 2025
Technology is perhaps the most influential factor in determining how human societies are being organized. The agricultural revolution paved the way for the establishment of first settled societies, which required hierarchical political organizations to regulate daily affairs. A couple of millennia later, the industrial revolution transformed these organizations into highly centralized, territorial entities that we now call States. Nowadays, the State-though challenged by globalization and neoliberal governance-is still considered the only territorially sovereign organisation. However, the current scholarly debate suggests that artificial intelligence threatens the State's definitive characteristics in conjunction with its digital sovereignty. This paper seeks to contribute to this debate by focusing on functional rather than institutional aspects of the State, which appears to be the main analytical focus in this topic. More specifically, this chapter discusses how AI, as an unprecedented cognitive technology, affects the relationship between the State and society? Results indicate that it provides private actors with means that were previously unavailable or accessible only to the State-enabling them to alter the ordering of societies to the point where states may cease to exist. However, it should be noted that this chapter does not address several important aspects, such as the global geopolitics of AI, its strictly economic dimensions, and its focus primarily on the Western world.
