Abstract: By the year 2030, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to transformative global changes—particularly if developed and deployed without ethical guidelines or government oversight. This paper explores how unregulated AI might reshape warfare, drive geopolitical rivalries, and enable misuse by state and non-state actors alike. Through an analysis of potential conflicts, power struggles, and ethical pitfalls, this study examines scenarios in which AI-driven militaries clash, states weaponize data for strategic advantage, and corporate entities develop autonomous systems for profit without regard for societal well-being. The findings reveal a dangerous trajectory where AI could fuel human rights abuses, escalate conflicts, and create a world order defined by unchecked surveillance and algorithmic manipulation. Ultimately, the paper underscores the urgent need for international cooperation and regulation to avoid the dystopian outcomes that could arise from an AI-driven world lacking ethical standards.
