Humankind is indisputably entering a new digital era. The impact of rapid technological and scientific advances on our lives is so great that World Economic Forumβs founder Klaus Schwab termed this process as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We are the witnesses of the transcendence through new frontiers. These new frontiers go beyond traditional understanding of every aspect of human activity. The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence is is further accelerating the need for professionals across all sectors to adapt and update their knowledge and skills as quickly as possible.Those involved in diplomacy and international affairs can no longer afford to slowly adapt to those changes as their pace demands almost business-like agility to stay abreast and relevant. Diplomacy 4.0 is UNITARβs answer to these new challenges, exploring the connection between diplomacy and areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, scientific advancements and other significant issues, providing participants with the knowledge and skills to future-proof their careers as international affairs professionals.
