"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 force for good in conflict-affected countries through early warning, peacebuilding, peacekeeping, and mediation. Looking at different technologies under the AI umbrella, such as machine learning, natural language processing, image processing, this book shows how AI can be used to collect and process data, uncover patterns, and augment 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 and human security. It also explores the risks and emphasizes the importance of embedding ethics in all stages of AI-enabled activities. An increasingly relevant 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. It is also useful for those in data science and AI fields, raising awareness of the impacts of their work beyond bias and transparency. The book would also be a topical addition to undergraduate and postgraduate courses on digital peacebuilding, peacetech, international relations, tech in development, and humanitarian action"--
