Description

PeacePulse is an AI-driven early warning system that monitors social media, news, and local communications across Nigeria's diverse regions to detect rising tensions before they escalate into violence. The system analyzes sentiment across multiple Nigerian languages, identifies potential conflict hotspots, and provides actionable intelligence to peacebuilders, enabling proactive intervention strategies rather than reactive responses.

Detailed Idea

Alignment with DF goals (BGI, Platform growth, community)

PeacePulse directly advances Beneficial General Intelligence by applying AI to one of humanity's most pressing challenges: conflict prevention. It promotes platform growth by creating a specialized AI service for conflict analysis that can be integrated with the SingularityNET marketplace. The project fosters community engagement by connecting AI developers with peace organizations and local stakeholders to co-create technology that serves human wellbeing.

Problem description

Nigeria faces complex conflicts driven by religious tensions, ethnic diversity, resource disputes, and extremist violence. Current conflict prevention approaches fail because they rely on delayed information, have incomplete understanding of local grievances, cannot detect subtle shifts in community sentiment, and struggle to monitor Nigeria's vast geographic and linguistic landscape. These limitations result in reactive responses after violence has already begun, rather than preventive measures

Proposed Solutions

PeacePulse will combine multi-source data collection across Nigerian languages with advanced NLP models specifically trained to identify conflict indicators. The system will provide real-time dashboards, automated alerts, and visualization tools showing sentiment trends and geographic hotspots. An AI-driven recommendation engine will suggest appropriate de-escalation strategies based on conflict type and past successful interventions, enabling peacekeepers to take targeted preventive action.
