Introduction

I never understood why people are motivated to fight wars and why we can’t diffuse the conflicts diplomatically using our advanced capabilities of technology and emotional intelligence techniques that are widely published in Harvard Journals.

What are we missing to create such leaders described by Harvard in reality? What is it we can do better to create right behaviours from childhood? How can we bury the past and move forward?

After reviewing the resistance of my son watching the David Beckham(Manchester United Player) on the Netflix as he is a Manchester City Fan, I am convinced that the first step to solve the wars starts from home and schools. We need to change the way we teach our kids to ensure that war mindset is fully eliminated.

My Goal

It is not easy and it looks very unreal and hypocritic as we carry a lot of emotional baggage but we all need to do something better for the future by learning from the past rather than designing the future based on revenge and pain, misery.

In regions marked by historical conflicts and political strife, the need for innovative solutions to prevent wars and support post-war processes is of paramount importance. Can we envision a world where technology plays a vital role in achieving peace, reconciling differences, and aiding recovery? Why is it that difficult to use technology for good outcomes? I am sharing my personal insights in this blogs and these insights are not associated with any company.

In this blog, we explore a detailed vision for preventing conflicts and facilitating post-war support using SAP BTP and Generative AI. The solution architecture patterns may come in my next part.

Preventing Wars

In a world marked by conflicts and divisions, nurturing a peace-first mindset is essential to avoid wars in future.By leveraging Generative AI and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), we can instill this mindset early in schools. Such an approach not only motivates the next generation to prevent wars but also equips them with the tools to do so.

Reconstructing sustainable economies and rebuilding people

In the challenging aftermath of conflict, post-war economic reconstruction and refugee rebuilding are critical endeavors. Rebuilding a stable and prosperous economy is vital for the affected region’s sustainability, while ensuring the well-being and integration of displaced populations is equally crucial. Generative AI can assist in economic modeling, suggesting the optimal allocation of resources for infrastructure development, industry revitalization, and job creation. SAP BTP can enable efficient management of reconstruction projects, helping governments allocate resources effectively and track progress.

1.Reconstruction Planning

Sustainable Construction

SAP BTP can support initiatives for sustainable development in conflict-affected regions. By managing data related to infrastructure projects, education, and healthcare, SAP BTP can help ensure that reconstruction efforts are efficient and effective, thus addressing root causes of conflicts and promoting stability.Natural Language Processing (NLP) models can analyzed historical data on infrastructure damage, local demographics, and cultural heritage sites. This information was used to prioritize reconstruction projects, providing a data-driven approach to rebuilding key facilities and preserving cultural heritage. Please check out one such BTP application that we developed for Costain, that we can customize and leverage here.

2.Economic Revival

It takes ages to build Rome but it just takes a day to destroy it. As difficult it is to rebuild economy in countries impacted by war, SAP can help to deploy Generative AI-powered economic models with Deep Learning algorithms on BTP that can analyze economic indicators, trade patterns, and investment climates. By identifying sectors with high growth potential, such as tech eco-construction and eco-tourism, the region can diversify its economy and attract international investments.

Empowering Diplomats

SAP BTP can provide a secure diplomatic communication platform that facilitates dialogue between diplomats. Data-driven negotiation support tools help diplomats make informed decisions, while secure document sharing ensures the confidentiality of sensitive information during peace talks. The negotiation outcomes can be improved by collecting data from citizens, politicians and past successful negotiation outcomes.Early warning alerts and communication message simulation scores with sentiments can be generated using AI, enabling timely diplomatic interventions and conflict prevention efforts using the right statements and languages.

Cross-Border Healthcare Collaboration

SAP BTP can enable and support cross-border secure healthcare data exchange, ensuring patient data security and compliance and integrate with the hospital back office systems . Telemedicine applications can be developed on cloud foundry to connect patients with healthcare providers from both sides and help with healthcare provider coordination for seamless and efficient care to promote mental well being and physical health.

Conclusion

The scenarios presented in this blog exemplify how SAP BTP and Generative AI can contribute to peace first mindset for the prevention of wars and support processes after conflicts. These examples offer a vision of a world where technology can becomes a catalyst for peace, however we do know the difficult part is rallying the parents and schools and our kids to develop peace first mindset at the grassroot level.

it doesn't serve the purpose if it is used to create bigger 
and painful mistakes in the future."
