China is actually going with the concept. They are developing an AI system that will help lawmakers make policies based on unbiased data analysis, rather than human emotion. When a policymaker needs to make an urgent decision in an ongoing, complex situation, the AI-powered system will be able to summon a range of options with recommendations for the best move in a matter of minutes.

Several prototypes of a diplomatic system using artificial intelligence are under development in China, according to researchers involved or familiar with the projects. One early-stage machine, built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is already being used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry confirmed to the South China Morning Post that there was indeed a plan to use AI in diplomacy.
