As the WPS  Agenda  turns 25, it is important to take stock of its implementation and ensure it is fit to address obstacles
and opportunities posed by new technologies like Al.


Al as an  Obstacle


* Al can be used in military an conf   t orc   ng
  syems,   including unveiling trends and patterns to
  predict escalating tensions. This could help prevent
  conflicts and mitigate gender- based violence.
* Al can  be  integrated into satellite imagery to
          aece~~~~       ~~~ -rt the r:o intrn  tcnlc zones
  to identify violations of humanitarian law and violence
  against women and girls.
* In difficult-to-navigate  conflict  and  post-conflict
  environments, A'p   tones ca b     d to
  deliver aid pacges,  including food, medical aid
  and supplies specific to women  and  girls which


* Al can support educational and training programmes
  forwomen and girls as a part of post-conflict recovery.
* Al can  help provide digital tools compliant with
  local cultures and languages that amplify the work
  of grasrts  organisations and women's groups.
* Al can support humanitarian actors in mfedaijo- -d
  Ir gtition through simulations and technical aids.
* Learning about Al can buld capaIty of previously
  underrepresented groups such as women, and enhance
  their participation in peace and security efforts.


* Early warning systems  have  been  docun   t   t   be
  mislaing, and Al-based tools can n-co rcty infer sensitive
  and complex geopolitical situations due to limited context.
* The lack of d saggreated data in datasets powering Al can
  result in biases that invisiblise or deprioritise several groups,
  who  may  be left out r'--f eseta pot :onit  rcvr
  n-mures   using Al systems,  like identification and aid
  disbursement.
* Medical aid is critical in relief measures, but medical
  algorithms have been known to deny appropriate care to
  individuals based on gender, race and age.
* The gende    jgita djvide, i.e. the significant disparity  in
  women's  access  to and use  of digital technologies as
  compared  to men, is a major barrier to women and girls'
  meaningful engagement with Al.
* Grassroots  organisations and  women human rights
  defenders have been taretd 1iefortheirwork,  including
  through Al-assisted technologies like deepfakes, which
  deters their meaningful participation in peacebuilding.
* Al-based tools for engagement in conflict resolution can be
  prone to bjas ovsimplitior ad   loss of cul4tum  noe.
* Al-based recruitment tools have been known to no1horisi
  WomeC  forob  due to biased Al systems.
