CTEC Partners With Spectrum Labs to Research the Language of Extremism

The Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism (CTEC) announced today that it has partnered with Spectrum Labs, a San Francisco-based startup that develops cutting-edge AI for the detection of hateful and violent content on the Internet — in context and across multiple languages and industries. CTEC will provide its expertise in extremist messaging to assist Spectrum in expanding their capacity for detecting coded words and idioms in non-English languages, starting with Portuguese and Spanish.
