Abstract: Abstract The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is opening up new possibilities for diplomatic intelligence by refining and enhancing processes of gathering, analyzing, and leveraging information through digital means. AI tools can automate tasks, identify patterns more efficiently, and provide real-time insights, enhancing the effectiveness of diplomatic decision-making. In light of these technological developments, we advance the concept of digital diplomatic intelligence (DDI) which we define as the use of Big Data and digital analytical methods to mitigate geopolitical uncertainty and provide informed and timely guidance for diplomatic decision-making. In this article, we examine how harnessing the power of data and algorithms effectively will require overcoming significant technical and organizational challenges.
