Early diagnosis and mental health are not the only areas in which AI can prove useful. Andreas Kaltenbrunner, a researcher with the IN3's Artificial Intelligence and Data for Society ( AID4So) group, believes that AI tools can also play a key role in conflict resolution to tackle society's increasing polarization. "We can do this by using AI-powered tools to analyse data on current conflicts, identify recurring patterns and predict areas where new tensions may arise. Furthermore, they can detect polarization during debates, summarize opposing points of view, highlight common ground and suggest possible areas of compromise," he says.
