In the 3rd post of our methods series, we talk about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of COI.

The Belgian COI unit CEDOCA published the Methodology for its COI products.

In the 2nd post of our methods series, we continue to explore the role of civilians in conflict data, focusing on the insights provided by UCDP and ACLED datasets. By examining variables such as “civilian targeting”, “deaths_civilians” and the event type of “violence against civilians”, we delve into the complexities of how to responsibly interpret and apply such variables when analysing the impact of conflict on civilians.

In February 2024, ACLED, the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project – one of the most widely used conflict data providers in the field of COI – introduced ‘conflict exposure’ as a new measure.
