Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a critical factor in global governance, international relations and the information environment, and it is crucial that humanitarians understand its implications in conflict contexts.

This panel at CDAC Network's 2023 Public Forum dives into those issues from a macro perspective. Chaired by Helen McElhinney (Executive Director, CDAC Network), the panel features Amil Khan (CEO, Valent), Jonathan Tanner (Founder, Rootcause) and Kristin Bergtora Sandvik (Professor of Legal Sociology, University of Oslo; Research Professor in Humanitarian Studies, Peace Research Institute Oslo).
