Artificial Intelligence, Peace, Resolution, ConflictAbstract
This research examines the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an innovative instrument in supporting peace and conflict resolution. AI is capable of rapidly analyzing big data to detect potential conflict escalation, identify key actors, and predict risky interaction patterns. This technology can also be used in digital mediation, monitoring ceasefires through satellite imagery, and analyzing social media sentiment to map public opinion dynamics. By integrating AI into diplomacy and crisis management processes, conflict prevention efforts can be carried out more proactively and evidence-based. The research findings are expected to provide a strategic framework for the ethical, transparent, and collaborative use of AI to achieve sustainable peace at the national and global levels.
