This article explores the difference between strategic and principled nonviolence in online spaces, drawing on insights from Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nonviolent

Is AI the Solution or Problem for Climate Change?

Artificial intelligence is often praised as a powerful ally in the fight against climate change. But as AI systems become more complex and widespread, so do their environmental costs. This article explores the double-edged relationship between AI and climate change — from energy consumption and e-waste to questions of power,

Beyond Cybersecurity towards Digital Peace

Driven by the growing complexity of digital threats, cybersecurity remains at the forefront of global discussions. Achieving sustainable digital peace, however, requires strategies that go beyond securing systems to address the root causes of online conflict. This article explores a more comprehensive approach towards digital peace by acknowledging the multifaceted
