UN will use AI to learn what people want from peace deals
People in warzones will use their smartphones to share their thoughts on negotiations
The UN will help people in warzones to influence peace deals through an AI conversation tool they can access through their smartphones. The system will be launched within the next year, the Financial Times reports.
The technology was developed by UN officials alongside a startup called Remesh, which produces a tool that creates online conversations with up to 1,000 participants. Their thoughts are analyzed in real-time through polls and open-ended questions to provide insights at scale.
The product is typically used for market research and employee engagement. But the UN believes it could also improve public participation in peace negotiations.
