Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author tries to cast light on the relationship between artificial intelligence and geopolitics by providing an answer to the question – is artificial intelligence just one of the “tools” that serves states to protect their geopolitical interests (both tellurocratic and atlanticist)? Or is it true that the rise and triumph of artificial intelligence actually mark the final decline and disappearance of one of the two commonly known geopolitical poles (in the form of the end of the geopolitical conflict between land and sea powers)? The first part of the paper is dedicated to the definition of artificial intelligence and geopolitics, with more attention being paid to artificial intelligence as a newer and less known phenomenon in relation to geopolitics (especially in political science circles). The second part of the paper compares “narrow” artificial intelligence (at the current stage of development) with the main ideas on which tellurocracy as the rule of Land and thalassocracy as the rule of Sea are based. The third part of the work builds on the second, only the focus is on the planned “general” or “super” artificial intelligence of the future. The conclusion points out that “narrow” artificial intelligence is completely compatible with thalassocracy (and very conditionally with tellurocracy), while “general” and “super” intelligence are absolutely incompatible with tellurocracy.
