Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought significant impacts across various aspects of life, including security and defense. AI offers the ability to enhance operational effectiveness through automation and advanced data analysis. However, its application also presents risks, particularly conflicts involving civilian populations. This research aims to analyze the implications of AI in the field of security and defense on potential conflicts using a human security approach. This approach highlights three fundamental components of human security: freedom from fear, sustainable livelihoods, and the assurance of human rights. The research employs a qualitative method with data collection techniques through literature reviews. Analysis is conducted using the illustrative method. The research finds that the use of AI in autonomous weapons often results in unintended civilian casualties, triggering external conflicts. On the other hand, technologies like face recognition and surveillance capitalism create internal conflicts due to algorithmic discrimination and privacy violations. The findings indicate that AI, while offering operational benefits, can introduce new threats in the form of digital technology threats. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate human security principles into the development and implementation of AI to minimize the risks of conflict and ensure a more responsible application of technology.

Abstract

This article analyzes Indonesia's Global Maritime Fulcrum (GMF) strategy from 2014 to 2024, tracing its transformation from a domestic development initiative to a refined diplomatic tool for managing great power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific. This research utilizes a qualitative case study technique with process tracing to examine official documents, diplomatic exchanges, and quantitative measurements, framed by middle power theory and maritime strategy concepts. The findings indicate that Indonesia's GMF strategy evolved through three distinct phases, achieving significant milestones such as a 234% enhancement in maritime surveillance coverage, the establishment of 89 bilateral maritime cooperation agreements, and effective mediation in regional maritime disputes with an 83% success rate. These results markedly surpassed earlier academic forecasts, demonstrating Indonesia's adept utilization of its geographic advantages and diplomatic skills to establish regional leadership despite the limitations of its middle power status. Despite the GMF's effectiveness being constrained by intensifying great power rivalry and internal limitations, Indonesia has adeptly established itself as a crucial player in Indo-Pacific maritime governance through the integration of institutional development, diplomatic efforts, and operational collaboration, providing significant insights into middle power conduct in intricate regional security contexts.

Abstract

In an era of rapid digital innovation and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), growing technological power imbalances have generated serious concerns about the equality, agency, and sovereignty of state and non-state actors. This study uses a qualitative, interpretivist methodology to examine the consequences of the digital divide. It focuses on how middle powers manage technological competition while maintaining strategic autonomy in the transformation of international relations. The findings indicate that while digital technology and AI enhance state capabilities and reshape global power hierarchies, they generate critical, ethical, and political challenges, particularly around surveillance, accountability, and algorithmic bias. This study argues that middle power can use defense diplomacy as a strategic instrument to confront the challenges of digital technology. Defense diplomacy employs comprehensive approaches, both coercive and non-coercive, and serves as an effective strategy for middle powers to influence global norms, develop cooperative security frameworks, and manage technological disruptions through building trust among actors. Ultimately, this study contributes to the interdisciplinary discourse on digital international relations by offering a framework for middle powers in an era increasingly shaped by algorithmic decision-making and cyber politics.
