SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:WCEE Lecture. AI for National and International Security: Opportunities Without Losing Control
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we understand and address conflict. This talk introduces emerging tools at the intersection of AI and Digital Twin technologies that enhance early-warning systems\, support mediation\, and strengthen peacebuilding efforts. By combining computational modeling with human-centered conflict transformation\, these approaches offer new ways to anticipate risks and design more responsive interventions.\n   Drawing on global developments and an example scenario from the Western Balkans\, the lecture underscores both the opportunities and the risks associated with introducing AI into fragile political contexts. It stresses that although AI can strengthen dialogue\, enhance foresight\, and support institutional coordination\, its true value relies on robust human oversight and strong ethical governance.\n   \n   Driart Elshani is professor of information and communication technologies at the American University in Kosovo. He has contributed to multiple projects focused on leveraging information technology for development across both government and industry sectors. Professor Elshani's areas of expertise include artificial intelligence (AI)\, e-governance\, and cybersecurity. He was educated at the University of Brussels\, where he earned his Bachelor’s\, Master’s\, and PhD in information sciences and technologies. Professor Elshani is visiting U-M in September 2025 to complete research on a project entitled “Impact of AI on conflict transformation and peacebuilding” in collaboration with Thomas Finholt\, professor of information.\n   \nIf there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you\, please contact us at gosiak@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
