Our role

Work Package Leader — WP5

We led WP5 and built the knowledge graph and AI-boosted explanation engine that help moderators review suspicious content faster. It integrates knowledge from different hosting providers and explains the reasoning behind each decision.

Impact and outcomes

Suite of AI-based tools delivered for detecting and removing terrorist content across text, images and audio
Knowledge graph and explanation engine deployed to support moderators' review decisions
Online training modules and workshops for hosting providers on the TCO Regulation and the project's tools
Data federation for sharing analysis results, and a unified form for reporting terrorist content to law enforcement

The challenge

The EU's Terrorist Content Online Regulation requires hosting providers to remove terrorist content within one hour of a removal order. The same obligations apply to large and small companies alike, which places a heavy operational, financial and technical burden on micro and small providers with limited capacity.

Our approach

ALLIES combined awareness raising, AI tool development, training and experience sharing, backed by a taxonomy of online terrorist behaviours and a risk assessment module. Its AI tools detect terrorist material across text, images and audio. Our knowledge graph and explanation engine turn those results into explainable decision support for moderators.
