Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) penetrates global society, its convergence with neoliberal ideologies continues to reconfigure power in profound and often troubling ways. Recent geopolitical shifts—including changing U.S. foreign policies, rising techno-nationalism, and contested debates over AI governance—have deepened these dynamics. This paper examines the evolving interplay between AI and neoliberalism, focusing on how these forces intersect to reshape global structures of power in the digital era. By analyzing AI’s role in sustaining neoliberal rationalities, it explores how digital technologies influence political, economic, and cultural landscapes. Ultimately, the study questions whether AI merely reinforces systems of profit and control, or if it also opens spaces for democratic renewal and alternative futures.
