    • Artificial intelligence as a field of innovation and regulation in international contexts (standards, regulatory regimes)
    • Artificial intelligence as a support technology in diplomacy (especially for smaller states)
    • Artificial intelligence and other technology as drivers of a new cold war (China vs. USA)
