With the expansion of new communication and information technologies, foreign relations of states undergo changes in terms of national security concerns and perspectives. Artificial intelligence, along with other achievements of information technologies, is playing role in the field of international relations, affecting national interests in an economic and military competition to enhance power and influence worldwide. Meanwhile, diplomacy provides a platform for bilateral, regional and international relations. This conference aims to produce academic literature on trends facing governmental and non-governmental actors in the shadow of new technological achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. Describing the current situation, we would explore the perspective of the link between AI technology and issues related to diplomacy and foreign policy.
