Digital tools and AI are part of modern peacemaking practice, yet the language used is not always clear. This guide defines core concepts used at CMI and across the field. It explains what these terms mean in practice, with real examples of how technology supports dialogue and analysis. <\/strong><\/p>\n

What is \u201cdigital peacemaking\u201d?<\/h3>\n

Digital peacemaking is the strategic use of digital tools to support peace processes, dialogue, and mediation, while actively working to reduce the risks digital tools can create, such as misinformation, privacy threats, or the spread of harmful content.<\/p>\n

What does \u201cAI for peacemaking\u201d mean?<\/h3>\n

AI for peacemaking means that peace practitioners use artificial intelligence in a range of ways that support peace efforts. AI can help peacemaking actors understand people\u2019s needs, spot rising tensions early, and prepare better conversations or options, without replacing human judgement.<\/p>\n

CMI has experience of the responsible use of AI to enhance conflict analysis, broaden inclusion, strengthen participation, and improve decision-making.<\/p>\n

How can inclusion be improved with digital technology?<\/h3>\n

By using digital technologies, more people can take part in peace efforts, even if they have low literacy, speak different languages, or cannot travel safely. In CMI\u2019s work in Yemen, for instance, participants were able to send voice notes on WhatsApp in Yemeni Arabic, which OpenAI transcription and translation helped turn into usable input for analysis.<\/p>\n

Digital technology can therefore help peacemakers bypass physical and linguistic barriers, but challenges exist, such as unequal access to devices and connectivity, limited digital literacy, and safety or surveillance risks. To make digital participation genuinely inclusive, tools should be paired with practical measures that reduce gaps and protect participants.<\/p>\n

What are digital dialogues?<\/h3>\n

Digital dialogues are guided online conversations where many people answer questions, react to what others say, and add…<\/p>\n
