** Some foreign policy experts are floating a surprising idea—that AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek could play a key role in shaping America’s global decisions. These advanced language models might help analyze complex international scenarios, offering insights or even recommendations in high-pressure diplomatic or military situations. While it sounds like sci-fi, the discussion is gaining traction in serious circles.
What This Means: ** Imagine an AI assistant not just writing your emails but weighing in on, say, a tense negotiation with China or a humanitarian crisis. The idea raises big questions: Could machines reduce human bias in diplomacy, or would they introduce new risks? This isn’t just theoretical—governments are already testing AI for policy analysis. Whether it’s a breakthrough or a Pandora’s box, the debate is heating up.
