Abstract
This article examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the analysis of foreign policy and international relations, with a particular emphasis on the United States. It identifies four principal fields of AI application: forecasting international events, modeling diplomatic negotiations, evaluating the risks of automated decision-making in the nuclear domain, and analyzing foreign policy decision-making processes. The article offers a comparative assessment of AI systems developed in the United States, China, and Russia, underscoring the growing relevance of specialized and domain-specific AI models as tools for expert analysis. Particular attention is devoted to benchmarking methodologies for evaluating generative models and to the critical role of human expertise in interpreting AI-generated outputs.
