Description

As malicious campaigns multiply, the PROMPT (Predictive Research on Misinformation and narratives Propagation Trajectories) pilot project advances the work of the European Narratives Observatory. We analyze vast amounts of textual data to detect malevolent narratives, focussing on three case-studies: the war in Ukraine, LGBTQI+ rights, and the 2024 European elections.

PROMPT uses the power of LLMs combined with dynamic network analysis for the in-depth recognition of formal patterns across media outlets, social networks and Wikipedia, in 8 languages, based on the rhetorical similarities observed qualitatively. With leading AI-scientists, academics and journalists, we’re developing a refined language model, a narrative monitoring dashboard and MOOCs/trainings for civil society activities.
