On October 10, 2024, Thierry Warin (CIRANO, HEC) gave a private lecture to MRIF teams on the subject of artificial intelligence and data diplomacy.

The rise of artificial intelligence over the previous two years had raised profound questions about its impact in various sectors, including diplomacy. This conference addressed how data was transforming diplomatic actions, with a focus on data diplomacy, an emerging concept that was redefining diplomatic practices and strategies in the digital age.

Thierry Warin, Professor of Data Science for International Affairs at HEC Montréal, Senior Researcher at CIRANO and Visiting Scholar at Harvard Business School's Digital, Data and Design (D^3) Institute, shared his expertise on these new dynamics at the intersection of information technology and diplomacy.
