In the 21st century, state sovereignty is undergoing a profound transformation, largely driven by advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and the changing landscape of jurisprudential autonomy and structural power. This article explores how AI is challenging traditional notions of sovereignty and influencing states in the interaction with each other and with emerging technologies. The study discusses the ethical and legal dilemmas raised by artificial intelligence, focusing on decision-making procedures, surveillance tools, and regulations on data use. Additionally, it discusses the geopolitical ramifications of AI development, emphasizing the possibility of shifts in power and global competitiveness. Drawing from case studies and scholarly insights, the article suggests that AI’s evolution necessitates reimagining sovereignty, moving towards a more fluid and networked governance model. It underscores the need for global cooperation and ethical frameworks to ensure AI’s responsible development and deployment while safeguarding individual rights and democratic principles.
