Free Face-to-Face Training on Artificial Intelligence and Diplomacy
Artificial Intelligence holds immense importance in today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, influencing nearly every facet of our personal and professional lives. In this context, understanding AI and its implications becomes essential for individuals, the private sector and governments. It empowers them to be able to engage with AI and AI-using technology in an informed manner, understanding the opportunities it creates while remaining aware of its limitations. This understanding is crucial for all stakeholders, including international civil servants and diplomats, in order for them to be able to create the international and national frameworks and regulations required to ensure AI is applied ethically.
