Technology for Peace: prevention tools
How can we use technology to promote peace, prevent violent conflicts and help to build stronger institutions
SENTIMENT ANALYSIS AND SOCIAL MEDIA MINING
FIGHTING RACISM AND XENOPHOBIA:
DIGITAL NETWORK ANALYSIS
By tracking and mapping online the different actors in a conflict network, peace mediators can think of intervention strategies to prevent the conflict of escalating and reaching more violent levels.
Hate speech monitoring can help to identify and neutralize racism and xenophobia.
Large datasets can help in mapping public sentiment and monitor sociopolitical tensions in specific areas. This data can be used to enable more strategic decision-making and peacebuilding strategies.
Mr. Matthew Hodes, Director of the UN Alliance of Civilization, cited the #SpreadNoHate initiative which is inviting the media, policy makers and the general public to counter hate speech and rhetorical excesses towards migrant communities and to develop a more complete and accurate coverage on the issue.
Kate Keator, Manager of the Syria Conflict Mapping Team at The Carter Center, ran big data through an open source social network analysis software Gephi to model the complex relationships of armed groups in Syria’s Aleppo Governorate.
UN Global Pulse experimented analysing social media data from public Facebook groups to understand people’s perceptions of various topics related to peace and security issues in Somalia. The experimentation process resulted in the analysis of: influencers, fake news and trending topics

BIG DATA AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENTE FOR MIGRATION MONITORING
SATELLITE IMAGERY ANALYSIS
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR FACIAL RECOGNITION:
Satellites images are efficient to locate, measure, and draw attention to human rights violations.
AI tools applied to track and verify identities of dead and prisoners of war by facial recognition
Migration monitoring can help to anticipate migrants movements, needs and behaviors that put them at danger or worsen the situation.
Branka Panic from the NYU Center on International Cooperation described a research study conducted by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and ABC News that used satellite imagery to estimate the size and spread of Uyghur internment camps in western China.
Clearview AI used by Ukraine for facial recognition to identify the dead, and many other technologies are being tested in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Real example: anticipating flows of forced displacement is an important undertaking of many humanitarian aid agencies, in order to provide vulnerable refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons with shelter, food, and medical care.
UN Global Pulse modelled a framework for estimating migration flows using online data.

Dataset on migration impact, for instance, on remittances data including incoming and outgoing flows support public policies and migrants’ integration.
Currently, we lack the international legal or institutional structures to mitigate cyberwar. How can we promote good governance in cyberspace?
Launched in 2018, the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace is a cross-sectoral effort by more than 1000 stakeholders to agree on nine common principles to secure cyberspace. By convening states, tech companies, researchers and civil society, the Paris Call has the potential to ensure peace and security in the digital world..
Current models of Digital Democracy Parks include the vTaiwan crowdsourced consensus-building platform and the e-Democracia virtual communities established by the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies.
Ambassador Laura Thompson, IOM Deputy Director General, meanwhile, highlighted the enormous contributions international mobility brings by filling in labour gaps and introducing innovative approaches in their host societies, while ensuring the steady flows of remittances and sharing of new knowledge, skills and networks in origin countries. The World Bank dispose datasets on annual remittances for public policies and supporting migrants integration.
