The role of artificial intelligence in war is widely recognized, but is there also a role for AI in fostering peace and preventing conflict? AI for Peace provides a new perspective on AI as a potential force for good in conflict-affected countries through its uses for early warning, combating hate speech, human rights investigations, and analyzing the effects of climate change on conflict. Looking at different technologies under the AI umbrella, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and image processing, this book shows how AI can be used to collect and process data, uncover patterns, and augment the work of peacebuilders. It sheds light on multiple examples of data-driven and AI-enabled initiatives across the world work to sustain peace, prevent conflict, and protect human rights. It also explores the risks and emphasizes the importance of embedding ethics in all stages of AI-enabled activities. An increasingly urgent topic in the peacebuilding field, this book acts as an essential primer for introducing peacebuilders to the latest advancements in emerging technologies and will act as guide for future practice. This book also aims to inspire data scientists to engage in the peacebuilding and prevention field, offering insights into both the opportunities and challenges inherent in this domain, including the specific challenges of applying data science in conflict and fragile settings. The book is also a topical addition to undergraduate and postgraduate courses on digital peacebuilding, peacetech, international relations, conflict prevention, tech in development, and humanitarian action.
