Artificial intelligence in the context of defense industry: the comparative study on russian and the us national ai strategies
Özet
Every state has to provide its own security since there is no higher authority to apply in the international system. This upper authority gap constitutes the anarchy of states that tend to solve the perceived problems on their own. In this environment of anarchy, states have made many new initiatives to ensure their safety and to maintain their existence. In the 21st century, with the development of technology, states have increased their investments in the defense industry against the elements that threaten their security. In this study, Russian and American national strategies on AI will be analyzed to determine the potential of Russia in AI-integrated defense industry. The study was limited to analyze AI national strategies of the USA and Russia. Due to the fact that China is an important international actor in the artificial intelligence competition, a general assessment will be made of it, but this will be excluded from the scope of the study. Furthermore, this research gives an overview on the capacity of Russia in AI-integrated defense industry and explains aspirations of Russia to be a leading state in the international arena in this field.
