  • The stages of conflict resolution include relationship building, information gathering, careful deliberation, and solution generation. We are exploring suitable platforms and algorithms for each stage.
  • Interdisciplinary collaboration between peacebuilding experts and technology specialists is important.
  • Three principles to transform conflict:.
    • Moving from fixed positions to deeper interests and needs
    • Moving from simple conflict analysis to interdisciplinary complex understanding
    • Transition from Lose-Lose to Win-Win.
  • Symbolic communication as well as rational discussion is important. Ritualistic elements help improve people’s relationships.
  • Existing SNS platforms lack ritualistic signals and good intent features. Identity tags, reputation systems, various reaction buttons, AI coaching, etc. are needed.

He argued that there is a need to design a platform that brings together interdisciplinary knowledge and supports symbolic communication.
