The European R&D project Global Response Against Child Exploitation (GRACE) is co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program, under grant agreement number 883341.
The Horizon 2020 program has for the first time unified all stages, from knowledge creation to activities closer to the market. This includes basic research, technology development, demonstration projects, pilot manufacturing lines, social innovation, technology transfer, proof of concept, standard setting, pre-commercialization public procurement support, venture capital and guarantee schemes.
The main objective is to develop advances through the control of Artificial Intelligence to support the fight against child exploitation. Specifically:
- Employing and adapting models to automatically detect illegal content
- Detect and analyze using AI tools to detect and analyze illegal content for better case management.
- Perform rapid, near real-time evidence mining and correlation between child exploitation cases to unravel hidden relationships and behavioral trends.
- Prediction of emerging crime trends with their possible technological needs.
- Evaluate solutions in real operating environments.
- Define standards, protocols, procedures and data formats for the international, cross-border and approved exchange of court-proof information and evidence, enhancing cooperation between Europol and the law enforcement agencies of the Member States.
GRACE aims to develop a platform with advanced digital and analytical tools to operationally assist law enforcement agencies in Europe to eradicate illegal content.
The Isdefe team participating in the project as a member of the consortium is coordinated by Raquel Pastor Pastor from Isdefe’s Defense and Security Technologies Department.
