Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

Project Management Documentation v2 (opens in new window)

Production of v2 of Project Handbook, Risk Management Plan, Quality Assurance Plan, Legal and Security Compliance Plan to serve as guidance and ensure consistency across consortium partners. The updated version is to reflect the evolution of the project.

DC&E Evaluation Report v1 (opens in new window)

The DC&E evaluation report is a written report evaluating the success and failures of the various actions undertaken in the DC&E plan v1.

Ethics guidelines for PAs (opens in new window)

This deliverable will provide guidance to decision-makers in PAs for the adoption of VIGILANT. It will present the results of the ethics impact assessment based on the framework developed in T2.1 and generate suggestions for mitigating the residual ethics impact of VIGILANT, focusing specifically on technical aspects. The results of the ethics assessment will also inform the Disinformation Response Manual, which will take into account the broader societal and legal context and suggest possible normative accompanying measures to ensure that the use of VIGILANT is in line with democracy and the rule of law.

Causes, contents and consequences model (opens in new window)

This deliverable will produce insights from various fields of the social and behavioural sciences that will be assimilated so that VIGILANT is designed to reflect a whole-of-society (rather than merely technological) understanding of disinformation campaigns. This includes, amongst other factors, analysis of online misogyny and gendered disinformation (National Democratic Institute, 2020), as part of online violence against women. Through literature review, conceptual models will be developed to represent key elements of disinformation campaigns, such as creation, intent, dissemination, content characteristics, audience characteristics, subsequent effects, contextual influences and relevant interventions. The elements in these models will be used to support development of the analysis tools in WP4 and WP5, especially the Impact analysis tool (T5.1) and the Intervention support tool (T5.2).

Project Management Documentation v1 (opens in new window)

Production of v1 of Project Handbook, Risk Management Plan, Quality Assurance Plan, Legal and Security Compliance Plan to serve as guidance and ensure consistency across consortium partners.

Ethics framework (opens in new window)

The Ethics Assessment Framework will be developed to be tailored to the specific VIGILANT needs to enable the consortium members to develop the system in accordance with the most up-to-date ethics standards and to ensure that the developed platform has the highest possible positive ethical impact with minimal ethical risks. The Ethics framework will follow the principles set out by the High-Level Expert Group on AI (of which Maria Bielikova of KInIT is a member). It will especially focus on: 1) Autonomy and human agency, considering that the VIGILANT platform provides automated tools to support human decision making; 2) Privacy and data protection issues; 3) Transparency and interpretability of the automated analysis results; 4) Fairness, diversity and non-discrimination related to profiling activities; 5) Societal well-being and democracy, especially considering potential chilling effects on basic freedoms such as freedom of information and expression. Finally, dual use considerations will play an important role in the assessment of the VIGILANT platform, including potential issues regarding export control restrictions in line with the most recent EU normative developments.

DC&E Plan v1 (opens in new window)

DC&E Plan: The Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation Plan v1 is a written report detailing of a series of activities that the VIGILANT consortium will undertake to maximise the impact and longevity of the VIGILANT Innovation Action. It will include the intended actions we plan to take as a consortium to disseminate the research undertaken in the project among specific communities of security researchers and PAs to advocate their joining the Community of Early Adopters. It will also include specific actions to communicate what VIGILANT is to members of the public. Lastly it will include specific actions which we will take to leverage the many technologies in VIGILANT for commercialisation and future research projects. This report will cover M1 - M36 of the project.

DC&E Plan v2 (opens in new window)

DC&E Plan: The Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation Plan v2 is an update to the v1 report. It is designed to reflect any changes in the DC&E plan as the project evolves. This report will focus on M18 - M36 of the project.

Data Management Plan v2 (opens in new window)

Second version of Data Management Plan which will have evolved over the project and will reflect the current status of the project's handling of data (M18).

Data Management Plan v1 (opens in new window)

First version of data management plan.
