Ajani, Adedeji Hammed and Adedokun-Shittu, Nafisat
Summary
Africa's digital revolution presents a unique opportunity for peace building efforts. By harnessing the power of AI-powered digital diplomacy, African nations can overcome traditional limitations. This approach fosters inclusive dialogue, addresses conflict drivers, and empowers citizens to participate in building a more peaceful and prosperous future. While research has explored the potential of AI in digital diplomacy, from conflict prevention to fostering inclusive dialogue, the true impact lies in practical application. Moving beyond theoretical studies, Africa can leverage AI-powered digital diplomacy by developing accessible and culturally sensitive tools. This requires African leadership in crafting solutions that address their unique needs. Initiatives like DemoChat exemplify this approach, promoting local ownership and tackling regional challenges head-on.
