This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into the modern system of international relations and diplomatic activities. The research highlights the capabilities of AI algorithms in handling Big Data, their role in modeling foreign policy strategies, and forecasting geopolitical crises. The study examines the stages of transformation in digital diplomacy from traditional methods to algorithmic forms, as well as the effectiveness of using neural networks in the "Soft Power" policies of states. Furthermore, the paper scientifically evaluates the impact of the struggle for technological supremacy on international security, data manipulation issues, and ethical dilemmas in cyber-diplomacy. The findings of the research include practical recommendations for developing digital competencies within the diplomatic field to navigate the complexities of the digital age effectively.
