چکیده
ظهور هوش مصنوعی به‌عنوان یک فناوری تحول‌آفرین، در حال دگرگون‌سازی بنیان‌های قدرت، حکمرانی و رقابت ژئوپلیتیکی در نظم بین‌الملل معاصر است. در این چارچوب، جمهوری خلق چین، به‌ویژه در دوره رهبری شی جین‌پینگ، با اتخاذ رویکردی ترکیبی و ساختارمند، هوش مصنوعی را به ابزار کلیدی در پیشبرد اهداف چندلایه ژئواستراتژیک خود تبدیل کرده است. پژوهش حاضر با تلفیق دو چارچوب نظری رئالیسم نوکلاسیک و نظریه شبکه، در پی آن است که تحلیل کند دولت شی‌جین‌پینگ چگونه از توسعه هدفمند هوش مصنوعی برای بازآرایی موقعیت خود در نظم جهانی استفاده می‌کند؟ فرضیه موقت این پژوهش که مبتنی بر روش تحلیل محتوای کیفی است، نشان می‌دهد که؛ اهداف چین از توسعه هوش مصنوعی در دو سطح کوتاه‌مدت و بلندمدت قابل صورت‌بندی‌اند. در سطح کوتاه‌مدت، چین در پی افزایش ظرفیت حکمرانی دیجیتال، ارتقاء قدرت نرم، توسعه دیپلماسی فناوری، و تضعیف وابستگی راهبردی به غرب تا افق ۲۰۳۵ است و در سطح بلندمدت، اهداف کلان‌تری چون توازن‌سازی ساختاری در برابر هژمونی ایالات متحده، شکل‌دهی به نظم چندقطبی بر مبنای پلتفرم‌های فناورانه، و تثبیت نقش هژمونیک در معماری ژئوتکنولوژیک جهانی تا افق ۲۰۵۰ دنبال می‌شود. جمع آوری داده‌ها در این پژوهش به صورت مراجعه به منابع اینترنتی و کتابخانه‌ای می‌باشد. یافته ها نشان می‌دهد که دولت چین با بهره‌گیری شبکه‌ای از فناوری، سرمایه‌گذاری زیرساختی، نهادسازی دیجیتال، و تولید استانداردهای بین‌المللی، در پی آن است تا نظم موجود را به نفع الگوی حکمرانی خود بازتعریف نماید. بدین‌ترتیب، هوش مصنوعی نه صرفاً فناوری، بلکه ابزار قدرت‌افزایی سیستماتیک برای چین در دوران رقابت‌های ژئوپلیتیکی آینده است.

چکیده English

The emergence of artificial intelligence as a transformative technology is transforming the foundations of power, governance, and geopolitical competition in the contemporary international order. In this context, the People's Republic of China, especially under Xi Jinping's leadership, has adopted a hybrid and structured approach, making AI a key tool in advancing its multi-layered geostrategic goals. By combining the two theoretical frameworks of neoclassical realism and network theory, the present study seeks to analyze how the Xi Jinping government uses the purposeful development of AI to rearrange its position in the global order. The provisional hypothesis of this study, which is based on the qualitative content analysis method, shows that China's goals for the development of AI can be formulated at two levels: short-term and long-term. In the short term, China seeks to increase its digital governance capacity, enhance its soft power, develop technology diplomacy, and weaken its strategic dependence on the West by 2035. In the long term, it pursues broader goals such as structural balancing against US hegemony, shaping a multipolar order based on technological platforms, and consolidating its hegemonic role in the global geotechnological architecture by 2050. Data collection in this study is based on online and library sources. The findings show that the Chinese government, by utilizing a network of technology, infrastructure investment, digital institution-building, and the production of international standards, seeks to redefine the existing order in favor of its governance model. Thus, artificial intelligence is not just a technology,
