AX 시대의 알고리즘 전쟁과 한국형 포괄안보 전략 = Algorithmic Warfare and a Korean Comprehensive Security Strategyin the AX Era

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The advent of the “AX (AI Transformation) Era” signifies a fundamental paradigm shift in national security. The advancement of AI technology transcends its instrumental role of merely enhancing information-processing efficiency, creating a new military and security environment of “algorithmic warfare” that necessitates a re-examination of existing international security theories.
This study employs a theory-synthesis–based conceptual research methodology to establish the concept of algorithmic warfare emerging in the AX Era and to redefine “strategic stability” in connection with classical security theories such as the security dilemma and the offense–defense balance. Addressing the limitations of prior fragmented and great-power-centric studies, it analyzes in depth the structural changes triggered by AI technology in each domain of the DIME (Diplomacy, Information, Military, Economics) model and proposes a concrete “Korean comprehensive security strategy” that reflects South Korea’s geopolitical conditions and technological capabilities.
This comprehensive strategy includes techno-alliances and AI arms-control diplomacy in the diplomatic(D) sphere; countering cognitive warfare and enhancing cybersecurity in the information(I) sphere; smart defense innovation based on the concept of “algorithmic deterrence” in the military(M) sphere; and securing technological sofvereignty and restructuring supply chains in the economic(E) sphere. By presenting theoretical insights and realistic policy alternatives suitable for the AX Era, this study aims to contribute to the formulation of national security strategies in the age of AI.
