The Rise of Artificial Intelligence and the Transformation of Global Governance: A Critical Analysis of Opportunities, Risks and Regulatory Frameworks

Abstract

This research examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and transformation of global governance, its opportunities, risks and regulatory challenges at international level. The research investigates how AI is revamping the governance structures, policy making procedures, international security and geopolitical relations between the states. Whilst AI provide vast opportunities in healthcare, innovation, administration and sustainable development, it also invents various problems such as cybersecurity threats, privacy issues, misinformation, algorithmic bias, ethical concerns and increasing inequality between the developed and developing countries. Regional frameworks, international organizations and major powers can play effective role in developing AI governance and regulatory policies. This study is significant because the omission of a integrated global regulatory framework has constructed the fragmented governance mechanism and has resulted in the increase of geopolitical competition between the major powers. This research uses qualitative research methodology based on analytical and descriptive approach. The data is collected through secondary sources such as academic journals, policy reports and official documents.
