AI IN DIGITAL DIPLOMACY
Abstract
This article examines the legal aspects of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into contemporary diplomatic processes. Basedonananalysis of existing international legal instruments and the national legislations of leading states (the United States, the European Union, China, the Russian Federation, and Singapore), the author explores key legal challenges arising at the intersection of traditional diplomatic law and emerging technologies. Special attention is given to the applicability of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations to AI systems, issues related to data sovereignty, and jurisdictional conflicts in the context of algorithmic diplomacy.
