PROCLAIM: Polarization, Radicalization and Polarization, Radicalization and extremism Online– identifying Covert hate speech in state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence technologies and social Media PROCLAIM confronts one of Europe’s urgent and invisible threats: covert hate speech (CHS).

It also bypasses EU laws and, importantly, is spreading rapidly via AI technology. Without decisive action, covert hate speech erodes democratic values and citizen trust. PROCLAIM pioneers the first European, interdisciplinary strategy to dismantle covert hate speech. Our world-leading consortium unites experts in political theory, law, AI technologies, psychology, and dissemination to deliver innovative tools, updated legislation, and safer digital spaces. Together, we strengthen Europe
