The Silicon Valley Peace Conference invites submissions of original research and practice-based papers that explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can advance peacebuilding, community development, and equitable progress—particularly in developing nations. We welcome scholars, researchers, technologists, practitioners, policymakers, peacebuilders, and interdisciplinary thinkers to contribute work that generates new insights, evidence, and practical approaches.
Why Submit?
The conference provides a peer-reviewed forum to:
– Share empirical research, case studies, and interdisciplinary insights on AI’s role in enhancing social impact.
– Present practice-based work demonstrating real-world applications, community engagement, and lessons learned.
– Explore ethical, cultural, and policy dimensions of AI in contexts of peace, justice, and development.
– Connect with global thinkers and practitioners working at the intersection of technology and societal well-being.
There are no participation or publication fees, and authors can present either in person or online.
