In July 2020, GIFCT launched a series of working groups to focus on critical themes related to countering terrorism and violent extremism online. Working groups bring together experts from diverse stakeholder groups, geographies and disciplines to offer advice in specific thematic areas and deliver on targeted, substantive projects. Each year working groups are refreshed to update themes and focus areas and to allow new participants to join. Participants work with GIFCT to prepare strategic work plans, outlining objectives, goals, strategies, deliverables, and timelines.</p><div class="ac-extended-content" style="display: none;"></p><p>From August 2021 to July 2022 GIFCT Working Groups will focus on the following themes:</p><ul><li>Technical Approaches: Tooling, Algorithms & Artificial Intelligence</li><li>Transparency: Best Practices & Implementation</li><li>Crisis Response & Incident Protocols</li><li>Positive Interventions & Strategic Communications</li><li>Legal Frameworks</li></ul><p></div><div><a data-more-text="View More" data-less-text="View Less" class="ac-readmore margin-btm" href="#" style="display: table;">View More</a></div></div></div></section></div></div></section></div></div></section><div class="spb-row-sizer"></div><section data-header-style="" class="row fw-row dynamic-header-change"><div class="spb-row " data-row-type="color" data-wrap="full-width-contained" data-image-movement="fixed" data-content-stretch="false" data-row-height="content-height" data-col-spacing="0" data-col-v-pos="default" style="background-color:#e1e7ef;margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;padding-top: 20px;padding-left: 20px;padding-right: 20px;padding-bottom: 20px;"><div class="spb_content_element clearfix" style=""><section class="row "><div class="blank_spacer col-sm-12 hidden-xs" style="height:60px;"></div></section><section class="row "><div class="spb-column-container col-sm-6 " style=" "><div class="spb-column-inner row clearfix" style="padding-left:0px; padding-right:0px;"><section class="row "><div class="spb_content_element col-sm-12 spb_text_column"><div class="spb-asset-content" style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;"><h3>Technical Approaches: Tooling, Algorithms & Artificial Intelligence</h3></div></div></section><section class="row "><div class="divider-wrap col-sm-3"><div class="spb_divider standard spb_content_element " style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 30px;"></div></div></section><section class="row "><div class="spb_content_element col-sm-12 spb_text_column"><div class="spb-asset-content" style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;"><h6>2021 Working Group Output</h6></div></div></section><section class="row "><div class="spb_content_element col-sm-12 spb_text_column"><div class="spb-asset-content" style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;"> <a class="sf-button standard accent bordered " href="https://gifct.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/GIFCT-TAWG21-ExecSummary.pdf" target="_blank" rel=""><span class="text">TAWG Executive Summary</span></a> <a class="sf-button standard accent bordered " href="https://gifct.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/GIFCT-TAWG-2021.pdf" target="_blank" rel=""><span class="text">TAWG Report PDF</span></a></div></div></section></div></div><div class="spb-column-container col-sm-6 " style=" "><div class="spb-column-inner row clearfix" style="padding-left:0px; padding-right:0px;"><section class="row "><div class="spb_content_element col-sm-12 spb_text_column"><div class="spb-asset-content" style="margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;"><p>From August 2021 to July 2022, the Technical Approaches: Tooling, Algorithms & Artificial Intelligence working group is considering some of the following questions:</p><ul><li aria-level="1">What technical solutions can be used to prevent/mitigate unintended consequences of algorithms and AI?</li><li aria-level="1">How can tooling and tactics be implemented for smaller platforms?</li><li aria-level="1">What technical approaches beyond photo/video hashing can be used to prevent terrorists and violent extremists from exploiting digital platforms, including within recommendation features?</li><li aria-level="1">What technical safeguards, oversight, and best-practices are needed to ensure safety by design and protection of human rights while member companies carry out tools-based internal operations?</li></ul><div class="ac-extended-content" style="display: none;"></p><p>From August 2020 to July 2021, the Technical Approaches working group focused on evaluating existing tooling and technical approaches in countering terrorism and violent extremism online alongside apparent gaps in the availability of technical solutions for smaller tech platforms.
