The increase in the amount of terrorist attacks organized by radicalized groups has motivated researchers to create strategies that will help security forces fight against the terrorist propaganda spread by organized groups such as ISIS.

New technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence, have marked a turning point in this field. As a research group that is part of Europol’s Advisory Committee, we are working on intelligent developments capable of providing precise information to committees like this one. Our solutions will help prevent terrorist attacks and they may even contribute to the dismantling of terrorist groups that use online media to find followers.

I leave you with an article I wrote for El Mundo Innovadores, in which I delve deeper into this topic.
