The Imperative of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Diplomacy: Navigating India-Pakistan Relations Amidst Global Transformations

Given Pakistan and India’s long-standing animosity towards one another and their distinct nuclear arsenals, this study explores the significance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Pakistan and India’s diplomatic endeavors. The study investigates how artificial intelligence technology could assist India and Pakistan in managing crises, communicating with one another, and resolving conflicts. India and Pakistan are two countries that have a long history of hostility and threats of nuclear war. There has been a history of hostile diplomatic relations between India and Pakistan, which frequently resulted in conflict. Given that both countries possess nuclear weapons, the current position is far more precarious than it was before. It is necessary to develop novel approaches to enhance both safety and tranquility. The use of artificial intelligence could allow diplomats to evaluate data in real-time, forecast future events, and make choices on their own. Politicians and diplomats can employ algorithms powered by artificial intelligence to better analyze problems, discover strategies for de-escalation, and enhance communication. This prevents misunderstandings and recklessness, both of which could lead to the outbreak of a nuclear war. The use of fast reaction systems, scenario simulations, and risk assessment tools that are enabled by artificial intelligence can be beneficial to crisis management. By utilizing solutions that are powered by artificial intelligence, policymakers can prevent the escalation of a crisis. The prevention of catastrophic events that pose a danger to global and regional security will be achieved through this. A discussion of the urgent necessity to include AI in the political strategy of India and Pakistan, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of doing so, is presented in this study. The recommendations contained in this study are intended to be used by policymakers and stakeholders to improve peace and stability in the India-Pakistan region, as well as to lessen the risk of nuclear conflict. It will be able to accomplish this with the assistance of case studies and experts in the field.
