AI Embassies: A New Frontier in Cyber Domain

Abstract

Background: The world is rapidly becoming more intelligent, and AI is penetrating many fields, including international affairs. Based on this, we will soon witness the emergence of a new generation of embassies, namely AI embassies. Aims: This article answers the main question: "What are the prerequisites and requirements for using AI in embassies?" Methodology: This research, conducted using a qualitative approach and socio-technical theory, examines changes around embassies and operational experiences in this area and concludes that ambassadors need to align with modern developments to succeed in their diplomatic missions. Findings: The research findings indicate that a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the developments in the host country and benefiting from AI suggestions for developing relations with the government and people of the host country are among the advantages of AI embassies. Security issues and the need for skilled human resources are some of the challenges of AI embassies. Finally, the main achievement of this article is to provide an operational framework for the responsible use of AI in embassies. Conclusion: Designing and implementing an artificial intelligence strategy, ensuring data quality and security, empowering embassy staff, and continuous monitoring and evaluation are the most critical components of this proposed framework.
