Sažetak

In contemporary international relations, information represents a crucially important geopolitical resource. This scientific work aims to analyze global communication with regard to two aspects. Firstly, it explores whether the technological revolution we are witnessing has threatened the fundamental values of liberal democracies. Exposed to the information interference of authoritarian states, liberal democracies risk evolving into societies characterized by control and surveillance mechanisms. Secondly, it examines the consequences of integrating modern information technologies into the space of geopolitics. Specifically, it investigates how global communications have reshaped the nature of warfare in the 21st century. Technology is not politically neutral; it plays a significant role in the international distribution of power. Despite the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on global business, little is being discussed about its implications for political and security relations which are undergoing irreversible changes.
