OpenMinds is a platform that helps safeguard elections by merging artificial and human intelligence to detect and counter disinformation targeting integrity. OpenMinds was established in 2022 to combat the impact of propaganda, with a particular focus on the Russo-Ukrainian war. Since then, OpenMinds has been empowering governments and research institutions worldwide with full-cycle information threat intelligence and response capabilities.

Focusing on conflict zones and hard-to-reach regions, they build methods and technologies to study the impact of disinformation, establish communication channels to deliver effective countermeasures, and develop the AI-powered platform Pythia, enhanced by investigative journalists, behavioral scientists, and communications strategists. Over the last year alone, they applied their research insights in more than 350 communication campaigns, each reaching 200,000+ people.
