In a world grappling with unprecedented challenges, encompassing intricate geopolitical conflicts, urgent humanitarian crises, and emerging cyber threats, the demand for innovative, data-centric foreign policy and diplomacy has grown more pronounced than ever before. As the world faces complex challenges, AI potentially offers a tool to help navigate these complexities and drive innovation in international relations. Our session assembles a diverse panel of experts, representing various fields, to investigate the profound potential of AI in reshaping the landscape of global diplomacy and foreign policy. As host of this session, the Data Innovation Lab will present the outcomes of our recent workshop conducted with foreign policy experts in exploring where AI can potentially augment their work, and where it should not be applied due to ethical, privacy and other concerns. Our distinguished guest speakers will share their firsthand experiences of implementing AI within the realms of foreign policy and international organizations. Following their presentations, we will delve into an engaging follow-up discussion to explore deeper into their insights and expertise.
