Evolution of Digital Diplomacy Tools
For over 30 years, we have been at the forefront of technology and diplomacy, adapting and innovating to meet the needs of a rapidly changing digital landscape.
DiploAI tools, our suite of AI and data-driven tools, stands as a testament to this evolution. Below, we explore the key technological advancements across four generations that have shaped DiploAI tools.
1990s
First generation of digital diplomacy tools
On 18 January 1994, Carl Bildt, the Prime Minister of Sweden, emailed U.S. President Bill Clinton about the war in Bosnia. Since then, email has become an essential tool for diplomats worldwide, facilitating the exchange of proposals, the signaling of intentions, and other vital aspects of diplomatic communication.
Web
On 20 January 1994, the U.S. State Department launched the first diplomatic website, marking a revolutionary step in digitalising diplomacy. Today, thousands of websites for ministries of foreign affairs, embassies, and consulates exist worldwide, making the web a primary platform for diplomatic representation. These websites are the main hubs for launching diplomatic initiatives, sharing press releases, and disseminating information on treaties and international agreements.
2000s
Second generation of digital diplomacy tools
Wikipedia
On 15 January 2001, Wikipedia was launched, introducing a collaborative model for knowledge-sharing. The platform rapidly became a crucial resource for diplomats, policymakers, and researchers. It has been used to document historical events in real time, such as the Arab Spring uprisings, and to provide accessible, regularly updated information on international treaties, negotiations, and global affairs.
Social media
On 21 June 2009, the U.S. State Department requested Twitter to delay scheduled maintenance to allow Iranians to share updates during post-election protests, demonstrating social media’s growing role in diplomacy. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn have since become essential for public diplomacy, crisis communication, and real-time engagement between diplomats and the global public
2010s
Third generation of digital diplomacy tools
Online meetings
On 10 September 2013, the United Nations hosted its first fully virtual meeting of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals, allowing delegates from around the world to participate without the need for travel. The rise of platforms like Zoom, Webex, and Microsoft Teams has since made online meetings a cornerstone of diplomacy, enabling negotiations, bilateral talks, and multilateral discussions to continue uninterrupted, even in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cloud computing
On 29 October 2012, the U.S. government launched the "Cloud First" policy, accelerating the adoption of cloud computing in federal agencies, including diplomatic services. With cloud-based tools such as Google Drive, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, diplomats and international organisations gained access to secure, scalable, and collaborative environments, revolutionising how documents, data, and intelligence are managed and shared across borders.
2020s
Fourth genreation of digital diplomacy tools
Artificial intelligence
On 24 February 2022, during the early hours of the Ukraine conflict, AI-powered tools were used to track troop movements, verify disinformation, and provide real-time analysis for decision-makers. AI-driven tools, from chatbots to predictive analytics, have since transformed how diplomats process information, manage crises, and engage with the public. Machine learning and natural language processing enable more efficient workflows, supporting diplomacy in an increasingly complex world
Metaverse
On 23 March 2022, the Republic of Barbados became the first country to establish an embassy in the metaverse, hosted on the Decentraland platform. This milestone marked the growing role of virtual and augmented reality in diplomacy, enabling immersive diplomatic engagements, virtual summits, and cross-border collaboration beyond traditional physical meetings. The metaverse is opening new avenues for diplomatic representation and global engagement.
