Abstract

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in diplomacy and international relations has marked the beginning of a new era in global geopolitics. This article explores how AI is redefining traditional paradigms of diplomacy, presenting both significant opportunities and challenges. Through detailed analysis, the implications of AI for diplomacy are discussed, including strengthening intercultural communication, data-driven decision making, and ethical and security challenges. Furthermore, frameworks for international AI governance are proposed, underscoring the importance of transnational cooperation to address emerging dilemmas.
