Logically, the Yorkshire based tech startup combining advanced AI with human intelligence to tackle misinformation, has announced the launch of its new threat intelligence platform that can identify, analyse and disarm harmful online misinformation at scale.
Built on cutting-edge, secure, scalable cloud infrastructure, Logically Intelligence brings together Logically’s capabilities in at-scale analysis, classification and detection of damaging narratives and online threats. It also provides access to a suite of countermeasures to tackle identified threats, including automated fact checking and OSINT research.
Logically was recently awarded first place in the News category of the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat App Innovation Challenge’ launched by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Countries around the world are starting to experience the real harms posed by misinformation, from doubt over election results, low uptake of the Covid vaccine or violent protests. Logically Intelligence is designed for use by government and public sector bodies who need to closely monitor the online media landscape for the spread of damaging narratives and have the ability to intervene early in order to protect democratic processes and public safety.
Lyric Jain, CEO of Logically, said, “Since 2016 we have seen the phenomenon of mis and disinformation firmly take root, evolve and proliferate, and increasingly cause real world harm. This is particularly urgent as India prepares for state elections this year as well as ensuring high uptake of Covid vaccinations.”
Logically Intelligence was tested in beta format during the 2019 general election in India and the 2020 elections in the US. In the 2019 election, Logically worked closely with public sector partners and members of the Election Commission to analyse 944,486 different articles circulating on social media, identifying 133,000 as unreliable, with 33,000 pieces of fake news.
