AI Diplomacy
Artificial Intelligence in International Relations and global governance.
At the nexus of theoretical computer science, AI, and science diplomacy.
We are a research group in the Computer Science department at Western University in London, Ontario, Canada. We are devoted to the development of computational and mathematical methods for modelling, probing, and understanding natural and machine intelligence.
Beyond the technical, we are deeply interested in the ramifications of machine intelligence in international relations and the role of the emerging discipline of AI diplomacy.
I am currently looking for graduate students who are interested in working at the interface of AI, diplomacy, and international relations.
Focus Areas

Principal Investigator
Mark Daley is the Chief AI Officer at Western University and a Professor in the Department of Computer Science with cross-appointments in five other departments, The Rotman Institute of Philosophy, and The Western Institute for Neuroscience. He is also a faculty affiliate of Toronto's Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence.
In October 2024, Mark was appointed the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Scholar in Residence in Artificial Intelligence. Previously, he served as the Vice-President (Research) at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR), and as Chief Digital Information Officer, Special Advisor to the President, and Associate Vice-President (Research) at Western.
Mark was named in the Maclean's magazine "Power List 2024" of the top 100 Canadians shaping the country and in Constellation Research's AI150, a list of the 150 top global executives leading AI transformation efforts.
