OPLG International is building a global centre of thought leadership on the responsible use of AI in Civil-Military Engagement — shaping policy, practice and capacity development across the humanitarian, development, and peace & security communities.
Artificial intelligence is entering humanitarian and civil-military work faster than the guidance around it. OPLG International exists to close that gap — equipping practitioners to use AI responsibly, and shaping the policy and practice that govern it.
We bring together humanitarian, development and peace & security professionals to develop ethical frameworks, build practical capacity, and advance guidance for the responsible adoption of AI — always keeping human judgement at the centre of every decision.
Get oriented across the AI landscape, then put it into practice in a controlled, scenario-based setting.
