Description of Peace Innovation Lab

· A novel definition of peace: not just the absence of conflict, but positive engagement and sustainable collaboration

•    A computational approach to peace is possible because we can have data

•    “Peace data”: data that represent positive engagement between individuals or groups

•    We deploy “sensors” about the way people interact and collect “peace” data

•    We study data and determine which processes increase “peaceful behavior” and then use technology to create those processes (for example, trust algorithms)

•    We measure patterns of behavior and try to design (positive) behavior

•    Design thinking applied to “wicked” problems such as healthcare and refugees

•    We operate through city labs around the world (there is no physical office at Stanford)

Intensive 2-week long program
