SUMMARY:Will AI take over diplomatic reporting? (WebDebate #56)
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nReports are the lifeblood of diplomacy. Every day\, thousands of reports\, also known as diplomatic cables\, are produced by diplomats around the world. \nWith the advent of AI\, and in particular the release of ChatGPT\, we have to ask ourselves: Will AI take over diplomatic reporting? \nTuesday\, 7th February\, 09:00 EST (14:00 UTC | 15:00 CEST | 19:30 IST) \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×\nDiplomatic reports summarise meetings and negotiations\, analyse situations and identify trends\, and propose further actions. In the history of diplomacy\, the first embassy (Milan to Florence in 1450) and the first Ministry of Foreign Affairs (France in 1626) were established to serve as archives of diplomatic reports. In addition to internal diplomatic reports\, reports are prepared for international organisations as records of the implementation of treaties\, Agenda 2030\, and other global initiatives. \nChatGPT gave us a glimpse of the power of AI for drafting texts. The whole process of reporting – from a transcription of voice recordings to the summarising of text\, to answering specific questions – can be performed by the AI. Off-the-shelf AI such as ChatGPT is not reliable yet. But\, AI\, which will be trained in the language and way of thinking of diplomats\, can mimic a considerable part of diplomatic reporting. As we saw from ChatGPT\, diplomats may have to develop new skills of ‘prompting’ in order to provide AI with a cognitive framework for drafting and summarising. \n\nHow will AI affect diplomatic reporting? What will be the impact on the diplomatic profession? What would be a human role in ‘automated diplomatic reporting ’? \n\nJoin diplomats\, academics\, and AI experts for an informed discussion on the current level of technology and future trends. You will also have a chance to hear about Diplo’s cutting-edge research on apps and tools for AI and diplomacy. \nRegistrations are open: \n\nRegisterContributors: \nDiplo’s AI and Data Team \nJovan Kurbalija\, Director of DiploFoundation and Head of Geneva \nModerator: \nDr Katharina E. Höne (Director of Research\, Diplo) \nAbout our WebDebates \nOur WebDebates on the future of diplomacy are live-streamed on the first Tuesday of every month. They are organised by Diplo within the framework of the International Forum on Diplomatic Training (IFDT). Learn more about our WebDebates series.

SUMMARY:Digital Middle Powers: What Strategies in the Global Tech Competition?
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nIn an international context characterised by the ever-growing US-China economic rivalry and technological competition\, states caught in the middle of this competition are increasingly having to determine which side they are on. \nDigital middle powers are caught in the middle of the power play between competing models\, in an emerging multipolar international system where digital technology is a determining factor of power. \nThis webinar will explore the strategies of several of these “swing states” – such as Brazil\, India\, Israel\, Japan\, Kenya\, Russia and the UK – and discuss the main findings of IFRI’s upcoming study on this topic: The Technology Policies of Digital Middle Powers. \nDiplo’s Marilia Maciel (Head – Digital Commerce and Internet Policy) will participate in this debate by the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI). \nThe webinar will be held on Zoom\, in English\, on Friday\, 24 February\, 5 am–6:30 am EST. \n\n\n\nRegister
