  • 1800 Massachusetts Ave NW Suite 401 Washington, DC United States (map)

On Tuesday, November 15th at 11am ET, join AfP’s Digital Peacebuilding Community of Practice for a discussion with Jamie Arkin from AIfluence (a Kenyan start-up) on how AIfluence flipped the “influencer” model on its head by working with regular people on social media—using their own creativity and authentic voices—to promote peace and fight misinformation across social media platforms. Jamie will talk about how AIfluence uses AI and how they are creating a circular-communication economy, collecting rapid feedback, and building peer-to-peer communication strategies at scale across Africa and India. They will share their experience using social media "AIfluencers" to improve civic education and promote peace around the 2022 Kenyan Election.
