AI diplomacy walks the line between continuity and change in our digital era.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping diplomatic practice. While the fundamental purposes of diplomacy – communication, negotiation, and representation – remain constant, the tools and contexts in which they are carried out are evolving. AI brings both continuity and disruption: it can support traditional diplomatic tasks with greater speed and scale, but it also raises complex questions around ethics, bias, trust, and human oversight.
This course provides a structured, practical, and critical introduction to the relevance and application of AI in diplomacy. It will help diplomats and international professionals understand the impact of AI on their work, gain hands-on experience with key tools and techniques, and explore the implications of AI for negotiations, reporting, and strategic communication.
