Counter-Radicalization Bot Research: Using Social Bots to Fight Violent Extremism

by Edward Geist, William Marcellino, Madeline Magnuson, et al.

The speed of online recruitment for violent extremist organizations has challenged existing efforts to intervene with counter-radicalization, leading to global instability and violence. The U.S. government's counter-radicalization messaging enterprise may benefit from using promising emerging technology tools, particularly bots, to rapidly detect targets of such recruitment efforts and deliver counter-radicalization content to them.
