A Modern Perspective on the Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Cyber Diplomacy

This paper is a critical review that examines the evolution and impact of cyber diplomacy, with a specific focus on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in shaping international cybersecurity strategies. It explores how AI, driven by advances in data availability, computing power, and algorithms, is transforming cybersecurity by enhancing threat detection and response capabilities while also introducing new risks such as AI-driven cyberattacks. The review highlights the dual role of AI in both advancing and complicating cyber diplomacy and discusses various international frameworks aimed at addressing these challenges. It reinforces the need for a unified global approach to balance AI's benefits with its potential risks and advocates for integrated regional and global cybersecurity efforts to stimulate resilient international cyber diplomacy.
