The potential use of AI in negotiations raises questions about the future of diplomacy and the role of human diplomats. While AI has already shown promise in various fields, the complexity of diplomatic negotiations presents unique challenges. Historically, diplomacy has adapted to technological advancements, but AI's ability to comprehend and interpret human emotions remains a crucial hurdle.

Current AI capabilities, such as reading body language and providing translations, need a more nuanced understanding of diplomacy. Diplomats possess intangible skills like empathy and intuition, including humour and emotional intelligence, that are difficult to replicate by AI. The development of AI systems embodying such qualities remains speculative, highlighting the complexities AI must overcome to genuinely rival human negotiation skills.
