  As Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms the domain of diplomacy in the
21st century, this research addresses the pressing need to evaluate the
dualistic nature of these advancements, unpacking both the challenges they pose
and the opportunities they offer. It has been almost a year since the launch of
ChatGPT by OpenAI that revolutionised various work domains with its
capabilities. The scope of application of these capabilities to diplomacy is
yet to be fully explored or understood. Our research objective is to
systematically examine the current discourse on Digital and AI Diplomacy, thus
informing the development of a comprehensive framework for the role of
Generative AI in modern diplomatic practices. Through the systematic analysis
of 230 scholarly articles, we identified a spectrum of opportunities and
challenges, culminating in a strategic framework that captures the multifaceted
concepts for integration of Generative AI, setting a course for future research
and innovation in diplomacy.
