As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, its impact on global governance becomes increasingly profound and complex. This day event delves into the intricacies of AI governance, exploring its multifaceted implications for international politics, economics, security, ethics and diplomacy.
We will begin by tracing the historical trajectory of AI, examining its origins and early development, key technological advancements, and the evolving landscape of AI capabilities. Subsequently, the day shifts its focus to the global governance of AI, analysing the political, economic, security, normative and diplomatic dimensions of AI's impact on the international system. You will critically evaluate the role of international norms and institutions in governing AI, examining their effectiveness in addressing the challenges posed by AI technologies.
Finally, we explore the emerging field of AI diplomacy, examining how AI technologies are shaping international relations, the potential for AI to transform diplomatic interactions and the role that diplomacy could in turn play for influencing the global governance of AI.
