The AI system aims to pinpoint the underlying causes of the conflict, and its creators claim it predicts outcomes with over 95% confidence to real-world outcomes. The model has been used in past conflicts and crises, including South Sudan, the Balkans, and the Syrian Refugee Crisis. CulturePulse's contract with the UNDP runs out in January, but they hope to sign a phase-two contract to build out a fully functional model. They also recently signed a contract with UNDP to work on a system for resolving cultural and religious issues in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Key takeaways:
- F. LeRon Shults and Justin Lane, cofounders of CulturePulse, are developing a first-of-its-kind AI model for the United Nations to help analyze solutions to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
- The AI model is not designed to resolve the situation but to understand, analyze, and get insights into implementing policies and communication strategies.
- The AI model, called a digital twin, replicates every single person virtually each imbued with demographics, religious beliefs, and moral values that echo their real-world counterparts.
- The model predicts outcomes with clinical accuracy of over 95 percent confidence to real-world outcomes, and has been used in various global situations including the conflicts in South Sudan, the Balkans, and the Syrian Refugee Crisis.
