AI-Augmented Teaching and Learning for Peacebuilding: Preparing the Next Generation of Peace Practitioners
Artificial intelligence is transforming how people learn, communicate, and engage in conflict. As AI reshapes the landscape of peacebuilding, from misinformation and algorithmic polarization to digital diplomacy and emerging technologies, educators and practitioners must rethink how we prepare the next generation of peacebuilders.
