Silicon Valley Peace Conference on AI's Role in Community Development and Peacebuilding in Developing Nations

18th to 19th September 2026

Palo Alto, California, United States of America

Explore the future of AI for peace and development at SVPC 2026, where experts collaborate on solutions to global challenges in education, public health, sustainability, and social cohesion through interdisciplinary exchange.

The Silicon Valley Peace Conference, organized under the theme "AI's Role in Community Development and Peacebuilding in Developing Nations," will take place on September 18-19, 2026, in Palo Alto, California. Bringing together scholars, technologists, policymakers, peacebuilders, and practitioners, the conference aims to explore AI's potential contributions to development and peace in diverse contexts. Hosted by a group of academic and civic institutions, the event will serve as a platform for sharing research findings, practical evidence and insights, as well as a platform for exchanging ideas, and forming new collaborations on the implications of AI for humanity's benefit and empowerment.

AI is reshaping nearly every sector fundamental to community life. Advanced AI tools are expanding the possibilities of classroom learning, broadening access to healthcare, strengthening agricultural systems, and supporting climate adaptation. They are also increasing efficiency across knowledge and manufacturing industries, enabling communities to address longstanding challenges with greater precision and impact. AI further creates new avenues for preserving cultural heritage, fostering entrepreneurship, overcoming barriers to essential services, and building economic resilience. At the same time, these advancements introduce complex challenges, including risks related to misinformation, unequal access, AI safety concerns, and the rapid pace of technological change. Taken together, these shifts demonstrate both the promise and the complexity of integrating AI into pathways for community advancement and equitable progress.

The conference organizers welcome participants to take part in this academic gathering, which will take place in Silicon Valley, California, at the heart of global AI innovation. The conference also offers an optional two-day tour of the San Francisco Bay Area for attendees who wish to explore the region's rich technological and cultural landscape. Through research presentations, shared best practices, and interactive sessions, participants will be able to engage with emerging findings, learn from research insights, exchange practical perspectives, and build valuable networks that deepen understanding of AI's societal impact across diverse contexts. Together, these engagements aim to strengthen collective efforts toward peaceful, equitable, and inclusive AI-enabled futures.

Dear colleagues and friends,

We warmly invite scholars to submit papers for the DPRK Cities Research Group's 5th International Conference at the Soongsil Institute for Peace and Unification, Soongsil University, supported by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.

This conference explores how marketization, technological change, and governance reshape civic space and everyday life in cities under authoritarian and transitional regimes. Moving beyond state-level analysis, it focuses on cities as key sites where control, adaptation, and agency are negotiated in practice.

While contributions on North Korean cities are particularly welcome, we strongly encourage comparative perspectives involving other authoritarian or transitional contexts.

The conference is designed as a small-scale, discussion-oriented workshop with limited presentation slots and dedicated discussants. We particularly welcome contributions from scholars with an active research agenda and aim to bring together established and emerging experts for focused, high-level exchange. Submissions will be competitively selected.

Date:               November 26, 2026 (Thursday)

Location:        Seoul, South Korea

Language:      English (with simultaneous interpretation between English and Korean)

Deadlines:      Abstract + short bio (max. 500 words): May 22, 2026

PUBLISH HELP
A breakthrough free TIIKM project to make your research publication possible.
Preliminary reviews for your full paper with the world-class publication "Steering Committee" before the conference.

"PUBLISHelp" is introduced by TIIKM to help authors develop their full papers before the conference. Once the request is made, a steering committee member will be assigned to provide the author with developmental comments to improve the full paper. Our main goal is to assist our conference participants to keep one step ahead by improving their valuable research papers.

SPECIAL FOCUS: Demographic Futures: Political Adaptations and Social Transformations
Assessing the economic security of current and future generations in old age requires a comprehensive life-course approach. Various interrelated factors - social, economic, and health-related - shape individuals' lives over time and complicate efforts to evaluate future outcomes. In many countries, the complexity of pension systems limits the ability to make definitive projections about the economic well-being of future retirees. However, recent structural reforms across different regions suggest that future retirement incomes will differ significantly in both composition and adequacy from those of today's older adults.
Old age must increasingly be understood as a political and social challenge. As demographic shifts reshape the age composition of populations, welfare states may need to reconfigure their age-based frameworks, rethinking how societies define solidarity, responsibility, and justice across generations. In the context of shrinking working-age populations and macroeconomic constraints, socially regulated employment systems face urgent questions about sustainability and fairness. New generations are likely to be fewer in number, which amplifies the pressure on public systems and calls for innovative models of intergenerational balance.
These demographic transitions impact a wide range of social domains: labor markets, retirement policies, healthcare and caregiving systems, family structures, social networks, and civic participation. Addressing these challenges requires coordinated policy responses that promote both inter- and intra-generational equity.
While old age is not synonymous with dependency, the prevalence of chronic illness, disability, and functional decline increases with age, raising the importance of care infrastructures that uphold dignity and autonomy. Globally, the care sector is undergoing a slow but necessary process of professionalization. This evolution calls for new frameworks of evaluation - particularly those grounded in ethics, equity, and social accountability - beyond conventional indicators of workforce development.
Care environments for aging populations must move toward more individualized, person-centered models. Yet across diverse national contexts, many systems remain fragmented or under-resourced, with gaps at the intersections of medical, social, and familial care arrangements. At the same time, promising new approaches are emerging around the world - ranging from dementia care innovations and age-friendly community programs to lifelong learning institutions for older adults.
This international dialogue will be hosted in Turkey, a country that both reflects these global challenges and serves as a site of experimentation in gerontological practice and policy. The conference offers an opportunity to exchange cross-national insights, share institutional innovations, and collaboratively reimagine the social contract across generations.

ABOUT US
Founded in 2011, the Aging & Social Change Research Network is a forum for discussion of challenges and opportunities for a rapidly growing segment of the population worldwide. The process of aging is a concern for individuals, families, communities, and nations. The social context of aging provides a rich background for community dialogue on this, one of the critical questions of our time. We aim to traverse a broad terrain, sometimes technically and other times socially oriented, sometimes theoretical and other times practical in their perspective, and sometimes reflecting dispassionate analysis while at other times suggesting interested strategies for action. Our aim is to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

SPECIAL FOCUS: The Image as Advocate: Shaping Cultural Conversations

This year's special focus examines how visual media serve as agents of cultural dialogue, activism, and change, particularly within complex and pluralistic societies. Images do more than reflect the world; they intervene in it. Whether mobilised to document injustice, amplify marginalised voices, reframe dominant narratives, or inspire solidarity, images hold or possess the capacity to advocate. As technologies evolve and the circulation of images intensifies, so too does the need to critically assess how they shape public consciousness and cultural meaning. This conference invites an exploration of how visual forms, across analogue, digital, and emerging mediums, operate as tools of advocacy within their own cultural contexts and in dialogue with others, placing an emphasis on practices that are situated, responsive, and ethically engaged. We ask: What are the possibilities and limits of the image as advocate? How does visual advocacy operate across linguistic, societal and cultural thresholds? And what pedagogies, platforms, or ethics are needed to support such work? In gathering diverse voices, we aim to cultivate a conversation on how images not only represent but also actively shape the cultures from which they emerge.
