GRACE

Global Response Against Child Exploitation

Objective

GRACE will apply proven techniques in machine learning to the referral and analysis process while embracing the very technical, ethical and legal challenges unique to fighting child exploitation. GRACE will leverage resources already in place at EUROPOL and its Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and attempt to provide results early, frequently and flexibly.

Impact

By applying Federated Learning approach to the challenge of optimising analysis and information flow, GRACE will enable cooperation between LEAs in improving their own capabilities and harness experiential knowledge. The results of GRACE will be handed back to EUROPOL and LEAs for unrestricted use in their missions, helping to ensure their future technological autonomy.
