efficiency-competitive socialization when nations are making decisions about space
security within a certain period of time However, with the continuous extension and
development of international social process, efficacy of space power and the
heightened awareness of space laws will make the security decision-making process
of relevant countries more prudent and normative. The strategic communication and
policy coordination in the tortuous advancement of globalization will transform
space security interactions between countries from being conflicting to cooperative.
On the premise that all countries maintain their strategic prudence, the
diversification of space power will help build a new space security order featuring
inclusiveness, reciprocity and harmony. The concept of common interests upheld by
space globalization will promote the construction of a community with a shared
future for mankind.

135 A New Perspective on the US National Security Perception:
Artificial Intelligence and National Security
LIU Guozhu and YIN Nannan
[Abstract] As a subversive and revolutionary technology, artificial intelligence (AI)
will fundamentally change the development process of the international community.
The United States has been acutely and accurately aware of this trend and thus has
incorporated artificial intelligence into national security. The impact of artificial
intelligence on US national security mainly lies in three aspects: Firstly, AI is a core
variable that will influence and shape the future of US national security in that it can
enhance the US position in the international power distribution, bridge and remedy
the division and disorder within the American society and promote the leap-forward
development of the US military power. Secondly, it is of vital importance to ensure
US national security in the future by effectively overcoming the negative effects of
AI. Artificial intelligence might cause a series of social and moral challenges and its
inherent flaws might increase the cost of risk in making war-related decisions as
well as the frequency and intensity of armed conflicts. Finally, the United States
emphasizes that the rapid development of China’s AI technology will pose a serious
threat to the US future national security. It is inevitable that China and the United
States will face increasingly fierce competition in the field of artificial intelligence
due to the fact that the United States believes China is trying to challenge its
leadership in the high-tech industry. In order to deal with the US policy of
containing China in the AI field, China should have a clear roadmap for the research,
development and application of AI, regulate the Sino-US relations through
institutionalized efforts and avoid the outbreak of a tech cold war.
