Artificial Intelligence for Global Governance and the Necessity of Internet Control: The Structural Imperative of Digital Control in Technocratic Systems

This article examines the structural relationship between artificial intelligence (AI), technocratic governance, and the control of the internet. It argues that any project of AI-based social governance at global scale necessarily implies centralized control of online coordination, mandatory digital identity, and the suppression of spontaneous mass attention. The claim is not normative but structural: without internet control, AI-driven governance systems become vulnerable to collective behavioral phenomena that undermine prioritization, semantic stability, and decision reliability. The paper introduces a typology of three emergent interference patterns—attack of saturation, semantic displacement, and semantic stretching—and shows why identitylinked internet access functions primarily to protect the governance architecture itself rather than merely to discipline citizens. The conclusion discusses the civilizational costs of such a model and its inherent limits.
