Our democracies are under pressure from subversive forces, often undetectable to the public due to their multifaceted and invisible nature. Justice for Prosperity (JfP) is a non- governmental and non-profit organisation. The flagship project WhoDis aims to identify and unveil how the structures of subversion work, how they remain undetected and harm and endanger communities.
This project uses AI, including Natural Language Processing (NLP), to detect, reconstruct, and expose anti- democratic actors and activities by monitoring and examining online polarising language, narratives, messages, and sources.

Therefore, in order to expand the pre-existing features embedded within the tool and incorporate different sources to track, such as Youtube, and a greater selection of websites and PDFs, to allow a greater amount of material to be incorporated.
The next steps with the WhoDis tool will focus on expanding development of further additional visualisation capabilities as well as dissemination of materials, through being able to tailor the WhoDis tool to various needs, based on the intended usage of the user. To develop a more interactive visual interface platform, in order to allow a more targeted focus based on the findings disclosed and results produced through the WhoDis tool. By either focusing on a policy, litigation or research angle, the WhoDis tool can be used more effectively by users to be able to understand existing observations and help with predicting future trends and developments.
