Project Iron – Organised crime group mapping
At Trilateral Research we provide ethical AI solutions for tackling complex social problems in the public sector. In Project Iron, funded by the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), we are conducting innovative research to develop explainable AI that can help combat organized crime (OC). The work will focus on three principal areas: graph network analysis, […]
What Are The Risks Of Not Sharing Data For Safeguarding Children?
Child exploitation is too often hidden in plain sight which makes it hard to detect and tackle. In response, Trilateral Research has co-designed the CESIUM Application with Lincolnshire Police to identify children who are vulnerable to exploitation. CESIUM promotes intelligence collaboration for safeguarding children by using our ethical artificial intelligence (Ethical AI) to gain new […]
Security, privacy and trust in software – assessing the ethical impact of technology
Protecting privacy and digital security are becoming increasingly important in everyday life. A lack of trust in software and how it deals with or exposes personal information could negatively impact consumers and the wider EU digital market. Privacy, security and trust in software are promoted by the TRUST aWARE project. They are also, in themselves, […]
How to Conduct an Ethics Assessment of AI in Policing
Crucially, ethical scrutiny must engage all aspects of the policing context. The context for adopting AI is neither solely technical nor solely societal in importance; it is a socio-technical interaction whereby technological systems (law enforcement or safeguarding) are designed by humans (developers) for humans (police) with an impact on individuals (citizens, residents, suspects, victims) and […]
How do leaders foster innovation?
When thinking of ways to change what we do, knowing exactly what we are aiming for is key. Your purpose needs to be clear, so that your team is motivated to make improvements towards that business goal, rather than simply streamlining what they already do. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it […]
The causes and the futures of populism and civic engagement
Across Europe, there is a rise of political movements that claim to challenge liberal elites and speak for the ‘ordinary person’ – movements that can be loosely categorised as ‘populist’. This has been an important trend in global politics, and Trilateral Research has been engaged in Populism and Civic Engagement (PaCE), a research project to […]
Transparency while processing Children’s personal data
Transparency is a key obligation for any data processor to discharge while processing personal data. The same has been mentioned within Article 5(a) of the GDPR. Recently, documents filed in the UK Courts have accused TikTok, a popular social media platform, of processing children’s personal data without meeting transparency obligations or seeking consent as required […]
E-learning and the Ethics of Robot Bullying
When considering Ethical Artificial Intelligence we want to hold machinery to account and to protect humans from the potential harmful impact of powerful machines. How transparent are the decisions that machines make? Can we identify the bias that comes from selective availability of data? Or from existing bias in the situations they are trained from? […]

Unleashing the Power of AI: Explainability and Transparency are the Keys to Promote Ethics, Trust and Inclusion in Digital Policing
Since Artificial Intelligence is inherently neither good nor bad, it can be used in improper ways—even unintentionally—causing significant harm and infringing on fundamental rights, but it also holds great promise to promote individual wellbeing and solve societal problems. The development and use of AI require ethical values to ensure that AI tools are developed and […]
