About

Philippe Lorenz is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence and international relations, with a focused expertise in how emerging technologies reshape foreign policy and global security. His seminal work, "Artificial Intelligence and Foreign Policy" (2018), has garnered 19 citations and stands as a foundational text for understanding the strategic implications of AI on the world stage. In this paper, Lorenz critically examines the contested narratives surrounding AI’s development, moving beyond the popular metaphor of data as "the new oil" to explore how nations must "refine" their technological capabilities to maintain geopolitical influence. His research illuminates the complex plot-lines of AI’s trajectory, arguing that it will become a central, defining technology of the 21st century. Lorenz’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between technical AI discourse and high-level diplomatic strategy, offering policymakers and scholars a nuanced framework for navigating the challenges of algorithmic warfare, data sovereignty, and autonomous decision-making. Through his work, Lorenz has established himself as an essential analyst for anyone seeking to understand the profound and often contested role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of international order.
