Statecraft 3.0: The Age of AI Diplomacy explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping the very foundations of power, cooperation, and conflict. Drawing on Rui Duarte’s unique path – from legislating in Parliament to shaping global AI policy – it reveals a world where diplomacy no longer happens only in embassies or negotiation rooms, but also in algorithms, code, and data flows. The book examines how nations navigate digital sovereignty, how AI is redefining trust between allies and rivals, and how governance must evolve when technologies move faster than laws. Through vivid historical parallels, real-world case studies, and forward-looking insights, Rui blends political acumen with technological understanding to illuminate the stakes of this new era.

Statecraft 3.0 is not only for diplomats, policymakers and technologists – it is for anyone who wants to understand how decisions made in code today will shape the global order tomorrow. It is a call to engage with the future before it is written without us.
