From Principles to Practice: Special Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence and Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism..


The Special Dialogue co-organized by UNOCT and the Republic of Korea will convene a focused multi-sector exchange to examine Artificial Intelligence (AI) and organizational readiness in preventing and countering violent extremism (PCVE).

AI is rapidly becoming one of the most influential forces shaping today's information environment. From how content is generated and shared to how communities engage with ideas, identities and grievances, AI is also transforming the spaces in which violent extremism conducive to terrorism can take root, and in which it can be prevented.

Against this backdrop, the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT), within the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), in partnership with the Republic of Korea, have been implementing the Artificial Intelligence and Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (AI and PCVE) Project and are now convening a Special Dialogue that will seek to:Increase awareness of the evolving AI and PCVE landscape, including how violent extremist actors are exploiting AI and its related implications for PCVE.
Examine the human rights, gender, ethical, and operational risks associated with AI-enabled PCVE tools as well as discuss concrete strategies for risk mitigation, human rights-based and responsible governance.
Showcase practical experiences and emerging opportunities for the responsible use of AI in PCVE, including perspectives from practitioners, platforms, youth, and policymakers.
Launch the UNOCT Practice Guide on AI and PCVE, highlighting its purpose and practical value for policymakers and practitioners.
Highlight key lessons learned from the AI and PCVE Project and outline priorities the next iteration of this work with a focus on organizational readiness, leadership, and institutional capacity.

Location: 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, USA
