AI can help trace language to violence
Every day, militaristic and violent metaphors are used by journalists and political actors alike to communicate and mobilize action. These word choices may seem effective yet, these metaphors, imbued with violent imagery, can be dangerous. From a policy standpoint, they are also ineffective (and potentially harmful). One example is how the global "war on drugs" terminology victimized, stigmatized, and misplaced blame. As noted by others, as with any war, there are always civil rights abuses.
