Bot
"This needs new expertise, new sources , new methods." - Mi5 Director General, Ken McCallum
Governments worldwide recognize the distinct role social networks play in the amplification of violent extremism. Yet, current countermeasures do not account for the socio-technical complexity of extremism.
We develop a new solution that addresses the complexity and nuances of online extremism at scale
Social bots capabilities are unmatched by alternative P/CVE approaches
Emotional sensitivity
social bots adapt to the user's emotional context and are thus superior in delivering nuanced, targeted messages
Deliberation
bots are social actors and facilitate deliberative attitude & behavior change that is inoculating and long lasting
Scalability
platform-agnostic and cost-efficient at scale, either as human-in-the-loop approach or fully automated.
