Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on diplomacy and its integration into global innovation ecosystems, considering the tensions between cooperation and competition. It proposes tools through which Science Diplomacy can strengthen international cooperation on AI. The current state of these relationships is examined from the perspective of International Relations, discussing how AI is transforming diplomatic practice by optimizing traditional functions and creating new dynamics. Additionally, it highlights that the competition for control of AI technologies involves not only technical supremacy but also regulatory models adopted by key players such as the United States, the European Union, and China. Finally, the article introduces Science and Innovation Diplomacy, emphasizing how these areas can contribute to the development of evidence-based public policies, balancing innovation with effective governance.
