The Challenge: Empowering AI for Peace

The AI for Peace Dualathon was launched to harness the power of AI in addressing some of the world's most pressing peace and security challenges. We sought innovative ideas and rapid prototypes that could make a tangible difference in real-world conflict zones and communities striving for peace.

Problem Statement:

"Despite significant advancements in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and related AI technologies, the world continues to grapple with complex, multifaceted crises that undermine peace, human security, and sustainable development. These challenges often stem from deep-rooted conflicts, misinformation, resource scarcity, and systemic vulnerabilities. There is an urgent need for innovative, ethically-sound AI solutions that can proactively prevent conflicts, effectively respond to humanitarian crises, foster reconciliation, and build resilient communities, particularly in vulnerable regions."
