Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has gained momentum in recent years. The potential of AI technologies continues to advance, demonstrating prospective utilizations in a variety of fields. This includes AI’s presence in war and war technology. AI has been especially critical for the defense strategies leveraged in the Russia-Ukraine War. But how can we use AI to positively impact human rights during war? Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Inter-governmental Organizations (IGOs) are fundamental groups that provide humanitarian aid in zones of conflict. Female-led NGOs and the feminist lens offer a revolutionary way to shape permanent peacekeeping efforts by emphasizing human rights and sustainability. Together with generative AI technologies, local female-led NGOs can redefine what peacekeeping can look like in an active zone of conflict. I propose three policy recommendations that emphasize AI-assisted feminist peacekeeping to achieve a sustainable future with an emphasis on human rights for Ukraine.
