WCEE Lecture by Driart Elshani, Weiser Professional Development Fellow, Fall 2025.Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we understand and address conflict. This talk introduces emerging tools at the intersection of AI and Digital Twin technologies that enhance early-warning systems, support mediation, and strengthen peacebuilding efforts. By combining computational modeling with human-centered conflict transformation, these approaches offer new ways to anticipate risks and design more responsive interventions.
Drawing on global developments and an example scenario from the Western Balkans, the lecture underscores both the opportunities and the risks associated with introducing AI into fragile political contexts. It stresses that although AI can strengthen dialogue, enhance foresight, and support institutional coordination, its true value relies on robust human oversight and strong ethical governance.
