Trusted and truthful information is the blood flow of democracy as informed citizens decisions depend on it. At the same time adversarial nations and organizations conduct disinformation campaigns and information operations to influence the information and decisions citizens make, also known as psychological operations. This has led to genocides in Myanmar, burning of 5G masts in the UK, a trend of anti-vaccination, climate change denial and all the way up to influencing the democratic processes in the examples of the U.S. 2016 presidential elections and the Brexit. Information warfare affects every single one of us and is one of the biggest challenges democracies face today.
We work with democratic governments, international media and defence agencies to help protect democracies and citizens from disinformation campaigns, synthetic media and information operations by developing a state-of-the-art AI detection platform. We enable to make better, more informed decisions in life-and-death situations. Our vision is to become the trust layer for the Internet by verifying the entire critical information supply chain and safeguard 1 billion citizens from information warfare.
