Research Themes

The Online Trust and Safety (OTS) space is exceptionally complex and rapidly evolving. To effectively define a technology research agenda and prepare for high-impact translational use cases, CATOS has consulted academia, industry and public agencies and developed a framework to define the key research themes based on MCI's “systems perspective of the online harms space” and the associated challenges identified in each of the systems (Figure 1). 
 

Research Theme 1: Prevention
Research Theme 2: Early Detection
Research Theme 3: Mitigation & Empowerment
