人工智能国际关系研究的中国进程及其挑战

Chinese Progress in and the Challenge of AI International Relations Research

人工智能国际关系研究是国际关系学者围绕前沿数字技术展开的系统性探索,主要聚焦人工智能技术变迁对国际体系及国际行为体互动进程的影响。中国的人工智能国际关系研究发端于2017年,在随后的发展过程中迅速积累了丰富的研究成果,形成了较为清晰的多元研究路径,为进一步开展系统化研究奠定了基础。然而,该研究领域在快速发展过程中也暴露出一些潜在风险。受技术发展周期性特征及研究本身泡沫化倾向的影响,中国的人工智能国际关系研究在长期稳定发展方面面临着巨大压力。基于此,只有与国际问题研究新的学科矩阵建立有效链接,对研究议题进行合理规划,积极构建人工智能国际关系研究学术共同体,才能有效应对未来的风险与挑战。

AI international relations research refers to international relations scholars’systemic exploration of frontier digital technology,with a focus on the impact of AI progress on the international system and the process of interaction between international actors.China’s AI international relations research started in 2017.In the course of its development,it rapidly accumulated fruitful research findings and shaped a relatively clear multi-dimensional research path,laying a foundation for further systemic research.However,the rapid development of this research field has also revealed potential risks.Under the influence of the cyclical character of technological development and the tendency toward a research bubble in the work itself,the longterm and stable development of China’s AI international relations research is under great pressure.We can therefore only effectively cope with future risks and challenges by establishing effective links with the new disciplinary matrix of research on international issues,making rational plans for research topics,and actively building an academic community of AI international relations research.
