Abstract :
From the beginning of the age of technology; Every idea, innovation and new invention has helped humans to start a new era of economic growth. This growth has usually been accom-panied by a change in the fundamental principles of nations and their security. In this new era; Artificial intelligence is mentioned as the background of the revolution and the evolution of all human ecosystems in virtual, terrestrial, celestial, etc. spaces. Geopolitical factors seem to play a decisive role in the work process. Predicting an algorithmic revolution that could se-riously challenge the model of global governance is not unexpected. It is here that govern-ments must not only increase their understanding of the potential impact of artificial intelli-gence, but also change their governance model in advancing the technology. This requires understanding the new and future geopolitics of this technology. Therefore, in this study, while examining the current and possible changes in the power factors of governments by arti-ficial intelligence technologies, the new geopolitics of this technology is explained. The meth-od used in this research is descriptive-analytical and library tools, documents and electronic resources have been used to collect data.
