SUMMARY:Implementing AI in daily work: Training for the EU staff in Geneva
DESCRIPTION:Diplo will deliver specialised\, exercise-based training\, ‘Implementing AI in Daily Work’\, for the EU Permanent Delegation to the United Nations Office and other international organisations in Geneva and the EU Permanent Mission to the World Trade Organization (WTO). \nAI technology holds immense potential to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency across various sectors\, including diplomacy. However\, effectively integrating these tools into daily operations remains challenging for many organisations. This tailored training will equip the EU diplomats with the knowledge and skills to harness AI’s capabilities for managing repetitive tasks\, enabling them to dedicate more time to core diplomatic functions such as engagement and negotiation. \nThe participants will learn about AI’s role in modern diplomacy\, explore practical insights and foundational knowledge of the technology’s principles\, and gain a comprehensive understanding of AI’s relevance to their work to better prepare to engage in discussions and decisions related to its use in diplomacy.

SUMMARY:UN Cybercrime Convention: What does it mean and how will it impact all of us?
DESCRIPTION:After three years of negotiations\, initiated by Russia in 2017\, the UN Member States at the Ad Hoc Committee (AHC) adopted the draft of the first globally binding legal instrument on cybercrime. This convention will now be presented to the UN General Assembly for formal adoption later this year. The Chair emphasised that the convention represents a criminal justice legal instrument and that the aim is\, therefore\, to combat cybercrime by prohibiting certain behaviours by physical persons\, rather than to regulate the behaviour of Member States. \nThe adoption of the convention has proceeded despite significant opposition from human rights groups\, civil society\, and technology companies\, who have raised concerns about potential risks of increased surveillance. In July\, DiploFoundation invited experts from various stakeholder groups to discuss their expectations before the final round of UN negotiations\, and to review the draft treaty. Experts noted an unprecedented alignment between industry and civil society on concerns with the draft\, emphasising the urgent need for a treaty focused on core cybercrime offences\, strengthened by robust safeguards and clear intent requirements. \nOnce formally adopted\, how will the UN cybercrime convention impact the security of users in the cyber environment? What does this legal instrument actually say about the cross-border cooperation in combating cybercrime? What human rights protections and safeguards does it provide? \nJoin us on Oct 22\, 2024\, at 6 am EDT for a virtual expert discussion to get the views of several delegates involved in the negotiation process. The session will help understand the contents of the agreed draft convention and its practical implications for all of us. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Tech Diplomacy: Actors\, Trends\, and Controversies | Book launch
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nThe recent conflict between Elon Musk and the Brazilian government has sparked heated debate on freedom of expression. Many commentators failed to reflect on a strategic reconfiguration of global power between governments and powerful tech companies. As these companies increasingly wield economic and social influence\, rivalling that of nation-states\, the implications for global diplomacy are profound. \nIn his new book\, Kurbalija offers a critical\, informed\, and impartial analysis of tech diplomacy\, exploring how these dynamics challenge the traditional Westphalian system based on nation-states. He delves into the interactions between tech companies and national governments\, from the Bay Area to capitals worldwide\, providing a comprehensive understanding of this evolving landscape. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights\, and participate in a thought-provoking discussion with Jovan Kurbalija. \nThe event will take place online on 1 October 2024\, at 12:00 UTC | 8 am EDT \nIn the preparation for the event you can consult… \nRegisterTable of Contents | Tech Diplomacy publication \n\n\nIntroduction\n1.

SUMMARY:Human Rights in the age of disinformation: a case study analysis
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nThe evolution of the internet over the years has played a crucial role in the access to and dissemination of information. The digitalisation of news portals\, the creation of social media\, and the presence of AI have not only contributed to informing people about everyday news but also allowed the fast spread of mis- and disinformation. \nWith the support from Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Moldova\, Diplo has conducted comprehensive research on online content governance\, shedding light on the interplay between disinformation and other digital policy areas\, such as online business models\, cybersecurity\, and human rights. The research investigates digital policy approaches that could help combat mis- and disinformation while protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. \nThis challenge requires multilevel\, multidisciplinary\, and multistakeholder efforts\, as well as an examination of the full range of possible responses\, which simultaneously leverage the power of laws\, social norms\, market forces\, and technological architecture. The research included case studies in four countries: Finland\, Sweden\, Lithuania\, and Singapore. \nThis report was developed with support of the project “Info Trust Alliance”\, funded by the German Federal Foreign Office and implemented by GIZ Moldova. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Kautilya in Modern Governance and Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nKautilya’s Arthashastra\, one of the world’s oldest and most comprehensive treatises on the science of statecraft\, offers profound insights into the administration of justice\, management of security\, and strategies for state protection and expansion\, including the nuanced concept of governance by stealth. \nOn Thursday\, September 5th\, Prof. Dr. Subrata K. Mitra\, Emeritus Professor of Political Science at Heidelberg University\, will give an online lecture highlighting how the Arthashastra remains crucial for understanding the modern Indian state\, its democratic political system\, and its foreign policy in a multipolar world. \nAlthough written over two millennia ago\, Kautilya’s teachings continue to influence contemporary India and beyond. This lecture will explore how India’s post-independence state and its leaders’ strategic thinking draw on the Arthashastra‘s intellectual legacy and deep political culture. \nIt will also examine the resilience of the Indian state\, its ability to adapt and modernize institutions\, and the broader relevance of these lessons for state-formation\, governance\, and diplomacy in the Global South and North. \nTo deepen your understanding of Kautilya’s enduring legacy and its impact on modern governance and diplomacy\, join us for an interactive online discussion on September 5th at 8am EDT (12:00 UTC). \nRegister

SUMMARY:30 Years of Internet in China: Between past growth and future challenges
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nOnline Anniversary Symposium\n(14:00 – 15.00 CEST / 12:00 – 13.00 UTC)\nThis message was given by Madam Hu Qiheng\, a computer scientist who connected China to the internet on 20 April 1994. \n\nCompared with 30 years ago\, the progress is so fast now\, and for those who are hurrying to catch the pace with AI\, there is perhaps not much time to review the past. \nTo my understanding\, all happened because of the two great events. The internet\, epoch-making creativity\, sprang up from the West while in China\, we had been in the Reform and Open-Door age. Because of those two great events\, with the impact of the internet\, China started to embrace the world market\, and China’s booming economy became world-shacking. \nAt the same time\, because of the joining of China\, the world had also changed profoundly. \nI wish the Symposium complete success.  \nHu Qiheng \n6 April 2024\nBeijing\, China \n\n\nOn 20 April 1994\, China connected to the internet. It was one of the most important developments in the digital history of the 20th century. Digitalisation has been the engine behind the rise of the Chinese economy\, lifting millions out of poverty. Today\, China has 1.050 billion Internet users\, or 20% of the global Internet population. China displays a vibrant digital economy and is home to many leading digital companies. \nIn the 1990s\, U.S. technology was largely employed to build the ‘Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal’ fibre-optic backbone\, a nationwide grid-shaped fibre-optic network representing the Chinese internet’s core. As globalisation boomed\, China and the West became increasingly intertwined by growing flows of trade\, finance\, and by the decentralisation of production\, which engendered today’s complex global value chains. The use of Chinese platforms has boomed. China has also enacted a wide range of digital legislation on data security\, personal information protection\, and digital governance. \nIn less than two decades\, however\, telecommunications and mobile technology became the first well-established fields of geopolitical rivalry between the US and China. This dispute for leadership is spreading through a vast array of so-called ‘critical and emerging technologies’\, including artificial intelligence. Tension is rising between the two digital powers\, and measures have been put in place to restrict access to each other’s digital markets. \nOn the occasion of this 30th anniversary\, Diplo will host a discussion focusing on past growth and future challenges of Chinese digitalisation. \nThe discussion will address\, among others\, the following questions: \n\nWhat is the significance of the last 30 years of Internet deployment in China to developing the global internet?\nWhat are the expectations for the future of China’s internet?\nWhat are the main trends in AI and digital regulation in China?\nWhat is China’s current and possible future role internationally in AI and digital governance?\n\nof the major global IG and digital policy developments. \nProvisional list of panelists\n\nJovan Kurbalija\, Director of Diplo & Head of Geneva Internet Platform\nLee Xiaodong\, Founder and Chief Executive Officer\, Fuxi Institution & Professor\, Tsinghua University\nLiu Hao\, Executive Chair\, School of Global Governance\, Beijing Institute of Technology\nRogier Creemers\, Assistant Professor and Lecturer in Modern Chinese Studies\, University of Leiden\nSorina Teleanu\, Director of Knowledge\, Diplo\n\nModerator: \n\nMarilia Maciel\, Head of Digital Commerce and Internet Policy\, Diplo\n\nRegister
