Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a type of technology and branches in computer science and the study and development of software and "science and engineering of making intelligent devices". In recent years, Identifying new scientific trends, standing on the edge of scientific-analytical innovation, and understanding in advance and deep practical developments caused by the emergence of artificial intelligence in the political field is one of our most important priorities for analyzing the political issue, redefining priorities and vision. New measures are in the field of national interests in emerging international conditions The result will bring significant benefits to society and the national interest in general. The main questions of the current plan are: How will artificial intelligence affect governance, voting and political participation? The hypothesis is that algorithmic governance shows that artificial intelligence is currently being used in many aspects of government, leading to the formation of virtual governance and e-government, the emergence of technical nationalism, artificial intelligence technocracy, the spread of innovation and strengthening National competitiveness, block chain-supported voting systems, the emergence of powerful private or transnational actors, political cyber insecurity, and the formation of artificial neural networks have become politicized. The main goal of this paper is to understand the theoretical developments of artificial intelligence with the aim of analyzing the future of politics in Iran.
