Abstract
The current research, which is unprecedented in the processes of the academic community, tries to investigate the effects of the transformations emanating from the era of artificial intelligence in the field of foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, so that in this period of time, according to the author's interpretation, Iran's foreign policy has faced a paradigm shift away from classic monologues and soliloquies. The main hypothesis of the present article is that the developments related to the era of data explosion, Iran's foreign policy has played a decisive role in the foreign policy of our country in relation to this structure arising from the patterned development of artificial intelligence. The main argument of the authors is that Iran's data-based approach to the structure of the international system and the attempt to disrupt it plays an effective role in the cross-border vision of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, when the logic of data dominates the intellectual apparatus and foreign policy of the country, classical views cannot continue and with the beginning of political, economic, military changes, etc., in the artificial post-intelligence state of the algorithmic foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It should also change the mechanisms of national strategy design.
