Notes de l'éditeur
- We were created to dramatically expand and improve the use of technology in peacebuilding. Mission – Use media, data and technology to prevent violent conflict around the world The Foundation for Religious Literacy Mission is to foster inter-religious literacy and understanding among leaders in business, education, journalism, law, and politics. New Voices into the Discussion - We do this through radical collaboration - bringing together engineers & activities, MBAs and conflict experts, social scientists and data scientists to help find new solutions to age-old problems.

- Data-driven work - UNSC We’re working with local partners in South Sudan, Nigeria and Kenya to South Sudan and advanced social media analytics to develop a dictionary of hate speech that is now being used to monitor hate speech and inform peacebuilders on how they might be able to respond. UNSC
- Another is with our PeaceTech Accelerator where we have partnered with C5 capital and Amazon Web Services to create an eight week program that supports peacetech entrepreneurs from around the world.
- Another is through our media programs. We are currently running a radio program in South Sudan called Sawa Shabab. It has 10,000 Facebook Followers and is proving to have deep reach both in country and as an online radio program for the diaspora community around the world. We’ve also partnered with industry leaders like John Momoh and Channels TV to work at building not just programs with a peacebuilding message but entire platforms.
- Finally we’re doing a lot of work to harness Data to revolutionize the way we do peacebuilding . My first example of this is a new product we’ve been working on called groundTruth Global. groundTruth is a SaaS solution providing early warning of business disruption due to volatility in fragile states by leveraging deep expertise in conflict reduction with the artificial intelligence capabilities of IBM Watson. groundTruth combines multilingual processing, deep learning, and predictive analytics with a range of “big” and local data sources to provide insights into dynamic local conditions. The platform features: ● Real-time alerts and visibility into local conditions ● Continuous updates of groundTruth indicators based on local and “big” data analysis ● Expert commentary and trend analysis ● Coverage of 25 countries in 2018

- Tehseen One standout example is Tahseen Alzrikiny, a journalist who participated in the first PeaceTech event in Iraq. Tahseen went on to apply the skills he gained at the Exchange to report on an issue already occupying his focus - the farmers from his province who struggle with the extinction of their crops in a period of drought and fiscal uncertainty. Alzrikiny’s story, which was recorded, edited, and published entirely from his mobile phone, won the United Press Unlimited award for the Best Story of 2013 “which would have remained untold without mobile storytelling.” - Nawres – First Global Robotics Challenge Science Camp – Maker Faire - MIT
