Abstract [eng] This paper examines the problem of the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and ethics in international relations. AI is a technology that is significantly changing our daily lives, and it is expected to solve a number of problems facing modern society. AI at the same time is seen as a technology that threatens fundamental democratic values. That is why the EU is actively trying to control the use of AI. The axis of the work revolves around the fact that although the main Western organizations (EU, NATO) allocate considerable human and financial capital to regulate the use of AI, at the same time there is not enough talk about the problems related to the development of AI at the creation stage. The paper reveals the main ethical problems related to the development of AI: discriminatory classification algorithms, the problem of data acquisition, the links between AI and the ecological crisis. It is argued that ignoring ethics in the process of creating an AI is directly related to the approach to AI, which allows it to be seen as a universal tool of power in a political context. This understanding of AI makes it one of the priority goals in the competitive struggle of major global centers of power. Ethical regulation of this process is not good for any of the centers of power, so instead of solving real problems, we are often confronted with only supposedly “ethical” rhetoric of politicians and the business world.
