Cultural Algorithms for Conflict Resolution: Fusing Anthropology, Artificial Intelligence, and Peace Studies

Abstract

It is very hard to guide people in different cultures, especially as standard methods of negotiation do not match the challenges of various cultures. The study investigates how cultural algorithms, built with ideas from cultural theory and both anthropology and peace studies, can be used to tackle various conflicts. AI systems are able to recognize and honor the cultural beliefs and customs members of the mediation encounter. They do computer simulations and examine situations where people use anthropology for the purpose of building peace. Experimenters have found that including cultural awareness in algorithms helps us either recognize the early signs of conflict or design ways to make people discuss and fix their disagreements. It is emphasized that AI can aid people-based peace processes only if ethics, a grasp of how models operate and coherent teamwork are included. In this work, anthropology, AI and peace studies are brought together to develop conflict resolution tools appropriate for international diplomacy, mediation in local communities and work after conflicts end.
