Hate and incitement divide

AI for democracy - Standing Against Right-Wing Populism and Extremism

AI uncovers patterns

Hate speech, incitement, and targeted disinformation online pose a serious threat. They can divide societies, influence public opinion, harm individual well-being, and restrict freedom of expression.
The AI for Democracy initiative aims to identify the algorithms, content, and actors working to undermine the principles and values of our democracy.

AI helps uncover subversive actors and their activities, contributing to a safer, more respectful, and democratic online environment and strengthening democracy itself.

Our Objectives

In a world where information spreads at lightning speed, understanding its origin and intent is more important than ever.
The AI for Democracy initiative takes on the challenge of not just managing the flood of data using AI, but making it transparent.
Our goal is to uncover how radical messages are distributed from their origin to their high-impact hubs online. By identifying trends, narratives, and their sources, we bring transparency to the digital landscape. This clarity supports informed public discussion and helps curb the spread of disinformation.

AI enables us to analyze massive volumes of data in near real time reducing the limitations and delays of human analysis alone.

What we do

In the first phase, we identify right-wing populist and extremist actors online. We then examine which narratives they spread to manipulate public opinion. Once we establish the most effective methodology, we begin continuous monitoring. Our analyses both routine and event-specific (e.g., before elections) aim to provide transparency about:

The main actors behind disinformation

The topics used to influence audiences
The sources these actors reference
The spread channels who amplifies whom, and when
By deeply understanding these components, we create powerful tools to fight digital disinformation and protect democratic processes.

The people behind the initiative

AI for Democracy is driven by a diverse group of professionals from marketing, communications, PR, technology, and research and development.
What unites us is a shared belief in democratic values and the conviction that transparency and education are the foundation of healthy discourse.
We are an open, non-partisan initiative that welcomes all who share our mission from individuals to academic institutions, companies, and investors.

Together, we can make a lasting difference.
Whether your support is financial, technological, or knowledge-based every contribution strengthens our shared mission of a transparent and informed society.

Transparency
is our
top priority

We operate independently and without political affiliation, with transparency as our top priority. Our findings aim to serve democratic institutions and provide a fact-based counterbalance to radical narratives supporting a more informed public debate.
