AI and the Next Generation of Peacebuilders
As we enter into the era of artificial intelligence (AI), marked by developments like OpenAI's ChatGPT-4, we find ourselves at the intersection of profound innovation and potential global upheaval. With AI's capacity for autonomous learning and adaptation, it stands to drastically reconstruct our societal fabric. It can be a beacon of peace, capable of predicting conflict, streamlining dialogue and catalyzing peacebuilding initiatives. Yet, in absence of regulatory checks, it could foster destabilization, bolster autocratic systems, proliferate misinformation and compromise democratic values.
