4.1e How do new communication technologies and AI influence conflict and peace, and how can they be leveraged to foster peace?
Background

We support independent, public-good research and draw on available evidence to inform our work on preventing, resolving and recovering from conflict; protecting civilians; promoting peaceful and sustainable transitions from conflict; preventing and mitigating the humanitarian consequences of forced displacement; effective humanitarian interventions; innovations for better humanitarian outcomes; and forecasting, anticipating, and preparing for future disasters and crisis.
