SUMMARY:What role can AI play in diplomatic negotiation? (WebDebate #57)
DESCRIPTION:Event description\n \nNegotiations are one of the central tenants of diplomacy. Some describe diplomacy as the management of international relations by selected officials via negotiation. \nGiven the recent hype around AI tools related to language processing and language generation\, we need to ask: What role can AI play in diplomatic negotiations? \nTuesday\, 7th March\,  \n14:00 UTC (09:00 EDT | 15:00 CET | 19:30 IST)  \nRegistrations are open \nRegister×Negotiations are\, without a doubt\, at the core of diplomacy. Diplomatic negotiations prevent wars\, signal the end of a war\, and build peace. They are the foundation of every international organisation and every international treaty. In a globalised world\, diplomatic negotiations make the world go round. \nGiven the stakes of this task\, any tool that might support the process deserves our attention. We have seen various explorations of this question in the context of peaceful conflict resolution. We have also seen concrete pilot projects by organisations like the Innovation Cell at the UNDPPA. With the recent hype and innovation around AI tools\, not least ChatGPT\, it is time to come back to these questions with renewed vigour. \nWhat is the (potential) role of AI in diplomatic negotiations? What AI tools have already been explored\, and what additional tools and needs can we anticipate? What are elements of negotiations that could be augmented what are elements that could be automated? \nJoin diplomats\, academics\, and AI experts for an informed discussion on the current level of technology and future trends. \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. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Strengthening Africa’s voices in global digital processes
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nThis session is co-organised by DiploFoundation and the Geneva Internet Platform with the Permanent Missions of Djibouti\, Kenya and Namibia. The event is taking place during the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) Forum. \nAs Africa’s digital dynamism grows\, its participation in global digital governance must increase. The continent’s involvement in global policy-making needs to more accurately reflect the dynamism of its digital transformation processes\, with growing internet penetration rates\, expanding digital economies\, and fast-evolving start-up ecosystems. \nThe digital realm cannot be developed into an enabling\, secure engine for human prosperity without Africa’s active involvement in digital diplomacy. African countries and continental and regional organisations need to mobilise human and institutional resources to enable their meaningful and long-lasting engagement in digital foreign policy and diplomacy. While most African countries are in the early stages of their digital diplomacy journey\, there are many policies\, initiatives and practices across the continent that could drive a faster take-off of digital diplomacy in Africa. \nThe session will look into how to strengthen African digital voices globally\, by leveraging what already exists\, while developing digital foreign policies for countries\, regions\, and the overall continent. \nIt will start by exploring the digital policy priorities of African countries and institutions and their involvement in global digital governance processes. After looking at the current situation\, the discussion will provide practical insights and suggestions on why and how to broaden African digital diplomacy footprint in international processes\, with a focus on those dealing with access and infrastructure\, cybersecurity\, AI and data governance. \nIn brief\, the session will outline the picture of Africa’s involvement in international policy processes in the digital realm by identifying existing building blocks and missing pieces for African digital diplomacy. It will then propose practical steps for the development of African digital diplomacy by strengthening the voices of national and regional actors in global digital diplomacy. \nRelevant WSIS Action Lines: 1.The role of governments and all stakeholders in the promotion of ICTs for development | 4. Capacity building | 6. Enabling environment | 11. International and regional cooperation \nRegister

SUMMARY:Vulnerabilities in Digital Products: How Does This Impact the World Around Us?
DESCRIPTION:Event description\nWednesday\, 29 March 2023\n9:00–10:00 EDT (13:00–14:00 UTC)\, online\nWhat do the SolarWinds hack\, the use of Pegasus spyware\, and the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack have in common? Even though they have different targets\, threat actors\, and impacts\, they all exploit software vulnerabilities. \nVulnerabilities in digital products remain an almost indispensable component of cyber attacks\, especially high-impact ones. \nIn this Geneva Dialogue webinar\, together with expert panellists\, we will discuss: \n\nHow do vulnerabilities emerge\, how are they exploited\, and to what end?\nWhat can we learn from these exploitations?\nWhat role do software vulnerabilities play in today’s digitalised society?\n\nRegistrations are open \nRegister×About the Geneva Dialogue\nThe Geneva Dialogue on Responsible Behaviour in Cyberspace is led by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) and implemented by Diplo. It aims to map the roles and responsibilities of actors (states\, the business sector\, civil society\, and the academic and tech communities ) in contributing to greater security and stability in cyberspace in the context of international peace and security\, identify good practices and possible gaps in existing efforts\, and\, ideally\, put forward recommendations for overcoming such gaps. \nRegister
