diplomacy, artificial intelligence, development, big data, productivity, democracy and human rightsAbstract
The present article aims to outline ways in which diplomacy and artificial intelligence can impact each other, within the context of the exponential development of artificial intelligence that must be properly addressed by the international community to leverage the multiple opportunities it presents and simultaneously mitigate potential risks. Thus, a discussion is made based on three lines of reflection: i) possible impacts of AI on diplomacy, ii) ways in which AI can serve as a tool for diplomacy, and iii) ways in which diplomacy can impact the development of AI. In conclusion, the notes developed previously are gathered to urge both greater academic production regarding the intersection between AI and diplomacy and a greater effort by countries to engage in ongoing global processes to address the topic of artificial intelligence.
