Our work

The ORA project is a unique ecosystem at the crossroads of data science, artificial intelligence, neuroscience and research.

The aim is action-research to detect early signs of polarization and create innovative experimental content designed to engage and connect.

A breakdown of our process

Monitoring

Our aim is to monitor social media platforms in real time to detect emerging resentment. When a threshold of intensity or speed is exceeded, an alert is triggered.

Mapping and Analysis

Our first deliverable and tool will be a map designed to understand the nuances that run through groups and communities. A resentment index will help us understand shifts in emotional intensity that fuel polarisation.

Rebalancing

This is where the rebalancing comes in - both immediately and over time.

Our objective is to use a network of trusted messengers to offer alternative narratives designed to suggest other perspectives, alternative themes, and multiple view-points. Keeping in mind the diversity of the publics we aim to reach.

Our expertise in computational neuroscience will allow us to measure changes in attitudes.
