Abstract

The aim of this article is to offer a state of the art regarding the debate on the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and politics after the rise of Generative AI. In the first two paragraphs, the evolution of the previous debate is broadly reconstructed, also in the light of AI models, and the reasons why the release of ChatGPT-4 has led to a ‘quantum leap’ in the public perception of AI, its impact on politics and its possible uses in this sphere are explained. In the following paragraphs, the state of the art of the debate is reconstructed, first by identifying the commonalities between the various perspectives, then examining them analytically, based on the distinction between perspectives such as realist-critical, normative-critical, techno-optimist, technoenthusiastic and techno-utopistic.
