Examining the Impact of New Technology and Artificial Intelligence Development Policies on the Expansion of Macro-Political Strategies with a Focus on General Policies

The advancement of emerging technologies stands as a pivotal force in shaping future diplomatic trends and global political landscapes. Given the extensive influence of these technologies on social and political sciences—and on international relations in particular—this study investigates their role in advancing strategic political objectives in alignment with the Iran’s general policy frameworks. The study surveyed a group of PhD level professors and specialists in new technologies and artificial intelligence, employing purposeful sampling until theoretical saturation was reached, resulting in twelve participants. Data were gathered through comprehensive library research, relevant documentation, and a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this research addresses key questions: How do technology development policies influence the expansion of strategic political frameworks? In what ways can these advanced technologies reinforce the political foundations and diplomatic relations of the system? The study's findings indicate that substantial investments by developed nations in new technologies have facilitated a competitive advantage in macro-policy domains, enhancing economic conditions and driving research and development. Thus, emphasizing new technologies within political, economic, and social arenas can significantly strengthen the Islamic Republic of Iran’s influence at both regional and global levels.
