One of the most promising potential uses of artificial intelligence (AI) is in making peace processes more inclusive, by using
AI to gather, analyze and summarize citizens’ perspectives at scale, and then bringing those views to the negotiating table. But with these potential uses come substantial
obstacles and risks, notably the limited internet connectivity available to people directly affected by conflict and the relative dearth of online material in African languages for AI tools to learn from and utilize, as well as associated concerns about data and algorithmic bias and data sovereignty.
