The Impact of Emerging Technologies on Modern Diplomacy
Vansh Pandey
Abstract: Emerging technologies are fundamentally altering the landscape of international diplomacy by introducing novel tools and challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized diplomatic analysis, enabling real - time data processing and predictive analytics for conflict prevention (UN, 2021). Cyber warfare has become a critical concern, with state - sponsored cyberattacks targeting diplomatic communications and critical infrastructure, as seen in the SolarWinds cyberattack (CISA, 2020). Additionally, digital diplomacy tools, such as virtual summits and social media platforms, have expanded public diplomacy and cross - border engagement, especially during crises like the COVID - 19 pandemic (UNDP, 2020). These advancements, while offering significant opportunities, pose ethical and regulatory challenges. AI systems risk perpetuating biases, while cyber technologies threaten the confidentiality of diplomatic communications (EU AI Watch, 2022). Furthermore, the lack of binding international agreements on cyber operations exacerbates the risk of misuse, emphasizing the need for global governance frameworks (Tallinn Manual, 2017). In response, the international community must prioritize ethical frameworks and multilateral agreements to address these challenges. Initiatives like the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace and efforts to extend the Tallinn Manual provide a foundation for regulating technology's role in diplomacy.
