ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FRAME OF THE NEW AGE VIRTUAL CULTURAL COMMUNITY – EFFECTS ON AFRICAN COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a contemporary, important and well-known field of the latest computer science. AI holds vast technological capabilities which are now considered as the future potential of companies, communities, and even countries. Specifically, AI cyber security technologies can assist countries to gain a significant impact in diplomacy and international affairs as well. Specifically, these gains could be highly important as implemented by third-world countries. The purpose of this article is to point out the effects of AI technologies on diplomatic and international affairs of African countries. The article elaborates how AI can provide these countries technologies that can compensate financial and military hegemony of the West. Moreover. AI has the potential to help African countries in becoming a real player in international relations, and to change the depressed discourse of the "other" hegemony. All this, of course, by understanding the meaning of culture for discourse and ultimately for diplomacy, while gaining meaning for the new potential of the West and accepting African culture, towards a possible change for both. The mechanism by which AI could benefit African countries is through flattening of the state network de facto eliminated by the Internet and social networks. Considering a very broad penetration of the cellular technology in these countries, AI could rapidly be distributed and therefore to create a new socio-cultural structure. In this article I will review the potential of AI on the social discourse in African countries as examples of rapid and profound change.
