Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Series

In today’s rapidly changing world, diplomacy is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Imagine ambassadors using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze millions of social media posts in real time, crisis responses guided by predictive analytics, and complex negotiations enhanced by unprecedented data‑driven insights. This isn’t the future—it’s diplomacy today, reimagined through AI.

Drawing on over 21 years of experience integrating technology into foreign affairs, Donald Kilburg, a retired U.S. diplomat, reveals how AI is revolutionizing diplomatic engagement, crisis management, and public diplomacy. From enhancing communication strategies to optimizing consular services, each chapter presents a vivid exploration of AI’s potential to amplify the effectiveness of diplomatic missions across the globe.

Readers will discover practical strategies for implementing AI in diplomatic operations, gain insights into the future of AI‑driven global governance, and learn when—crucially—not to use AI at all. Through vivid case studies and real‑world examples, this book illuminates both the opportunities and ethical complexities at the intersection of technology and international relations.

Whether you’re a diplomatic practitioner, a student of international affairs, or fascinated by technology’s impact on global relationships, this groundbreaking guide charts the course for diplomacy’s next evolution—where human wisdom and AI converge to address our world’s most pressing challenges.
