Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the evolution of multilateral diplomacy, analyzing its dual potential as both a catalyst for cooperation and a source of strategic rivalry. It examines the theoretical foundations of AI in international relations, the strategic positioning of major powers (USA, China, EU, Russia), and the regulatory and normative responses at global and regional levels. The paper further outlines architectures of human-AI collaboration in negotiations, assesses key risks and geopolitical fragmentations, and offers strategic recommendations for ethical and sustainable AI governance in diplomacy. By synthesizing case studies, policy documents, and academic literature, the study presents a forward-looking vision for the future of diplomacy in the AI era
