Prof. Chadefaux will lead the project AICAP (Artificial Intelligence for Conflict Analysis and Prediction) analysing real-time geopolitical, economic, and behavioural data to forecast patterns in conflict development. The project seeks to provide early warning signals to policymakers, businesses, and NGOs, helping them act before crises escalate.
The €150K AICAP research project is a spin-off from a five-year ERC funded research project called PaCE (Patterns of Conflict Emergence), which is working to uncover recurring temporal patterns in the run up to wars, using machine learning methods and a wide range of data, from financial markets to satellite imagery.
