Artificial Intelligence as a Source of Political Thinking
The aim of this work is to study the state of current research in the field of politics and AI. Our research question is about the possibility of using artificial intelligence in order to run political judgments. The main problem of researching artificial intelligence deals with the value-based biases of judgments about the present and the future of these technologies. The article uses the meta-analysis method, which in recent years has become quite widespread in the specialized literature. The article provides an overview of the most cited publications in the Scopus database with the keywords “Artificial Intelligence” and “Politics”. In total, the study has included 76 articles and reports that were indexed by the database over the past 20 years. It is concluded that in recent years there has been a trend towards an increase in the number of publications on the problems of artificial intelligence and politics. However, most of them are only indirectly related to the central problems of political science. The study of the topic of artificial intelligence most closely adjoins the study of the problems of big data and political communication in social networks.
