This book explores the critical intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), global security, cyber threats, and surveillance governance in the 21st century. Its core objective is to examine how AI technologies are reshaping international security paradigms, both as tools of protection and instruments of control. Bridging academic research with policy and practice, the book analyzes how states, non-state actors, and global institutions are leveraging AI for surveillance, cybersecurity operations, and geopolitical advantage. Methodologically, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from cybersecurity, international relations, ethics, and law. It combines case studies, policy analysis, and technological overviews to provide a holistic understanding of current developments and challenges. Key findings highlight the dual-use nature of AI, the growing threat of algorithmic warfare, and the lack of coherent international governance structures. While the book does not provide a one-size-fits-all solution, it identifies critical gaps in policy and proposes strategic frameworks for AI oversight. This work contributes to academic research by filling a cross-disciplinary gap and offers practical value for policymakers, technologists, and security professionals. It emphasizes the urgency of responsible AI governance to prevent misuse and promote global stability in an increasingly automated world.
