How to prepare diplomats for the AI Era?
The future of diplomatic training and education
11 December 2024

only in-situ event
In celebration of 15 years of cooperation between Malta, Mexico, and Switzerland, we are pleased to invite you to a special event exploring how diplomacy and international organisations can adapt to AI-driven transformations.
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping core diplomatic functions such as reporting, policy analysis, and public communication.
DiploFoundation will present the current state of AI in diplomacy, alongside updates on diplomatic training curricula. The focus will be on equipping current diplomats and preparing the next generation with the critical knowledge, skills, and talents required to excel in the AI era—whether representing their countries, negotiating international agreements, or navigating complex global challenges.
