Over the last years, AI applications have come to play a role in many security‐related fields. CSS Director Andreas Wenger and Sophie-​Charlotte Fischer show in this article that scholars who want to study AI’s link to power and security should widen their perspective to include conceptual approaches from science and technology studies (STS).

In this article, the authors introduce two STS‐inspired concepts and show how the study of AI and security could benefit from them. Finally, they focus on AI in the context of Switzerland to underscore what aspects the two previously introduced concepts help to highlight, which might remain invisible for traditional approaches.
