AI: The Risks and Benefits To Peace and Social Justice

Artificial intelligence is no longer merely a far-fetched feature of sci-fi, but a daily fixture in most American’s lives — whether we’re aware of it or not. Corporations and authorities are increasingly using A.I. in everything from employment and hiring, to economic decisions to surveillance and war. Police departments in some of the largest cities in the U.S. use predictive policing to forecast criminal activity, militaries use AI systems to help determine targets. Yet humanitarian institutions and peace advocates are growing more interested in using AI to promote social good and peace. Proponents of AI for peace say that it could be harnessed for early warning of violence, combating hate speech, human rights investigations, and analyzing the effects of climate change on conflict. How do we build a world where A.I. is no longer a weapon of warfare, but a powerful tool for peace? Correspondent Mary Steffenhagen speaks with Yeshi Milner, founder and CEO of Data for Black Lives, and Branka Panic, founding director of A.I. for Peace, to find out.
