Activity Summary

The workshop “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Peace and International Stability”, held on January 13, 2025, at Universidad UTE, brought together 27 students from various academic programs to explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can contribute to maintaining peace and resolving conflicts. This workshop was part of a broader initiative to transmit key learnings from the Global Peace Summit NY 2024 and adapt them to Ecuador’s local context.

The workshop activities were complemented by an international podcast and a radio interview, both designed to expand the impact of the summit’s lessons and foster open dialogue about the challenges and opportunities in building global peace.

In this podcast, broadcast on social media and YouTube, I shared my experience at GPS NY 2024 and discussed key takeaways, including:

• AI’s impact on global peace: Exploring real-world examples of how technology has been used to prevent conflicts and improve community resilience.
  • Best practices from different countries: Highlighting how various nations are implementing peace initiatives.
  • Collective empowerment: Emphasizing that anyone, from students to professionals, can contribute to peace from their role.
  • Lessons from New York: Reflecting on how cultural and social differences are not obstacles but rather foundations for building a fairer and more equitable world. The podcast generated positive interactions and proposed future episodes to continue exploring the relationship between AI, peace, and global business.

Broadcast live on radio and social platforms, this interview reached both national and international audiences. Key discussions included:

• The selection process and my participation in GPS NY 2024.
  • Plans to replicate similar workshops in Ecuador, both in-person and online.
