Abstract

The two theoretical approaches to security studies; traditionalists and wideners defined the agenda of international security during the Cold War and its aftermath. The traditional approach is basically the realist/military/state-centric construct of security, which gained prominence during the Cold War and was widely as persed after the Cold War by wideners’ scholars calling for the need to expandits military-oriented security approach to incorporate non-military issues and non-state actors. The recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated that,this emerging technology would have a deterministic and potentially trans formative influence on the military power, strategic competition, and international security in general. This research argues that, the various military uses of AI technologies and the national interest of powerful states to endlessly pursue these advanced technologies as preliminary for the future war in other to gain strategic advantages over potential emerging adversaries are depictions of traditional/realist construct of international security rationalizing its continuity and illustriousness. This research employs correlated secondary data within qualitative methodology to examine the various military uses of AI and their potential implications on international security.
