More from the document

Why this project matters long term.

Budget & rolloutThe document estimates annual operating costs between approximately €2.3 million and €7.2 million, with setup costs ranging from about €660,000 to €2.9 million and a rollout timeline of 2.5 to 4 years.
Expected benefitsOpenAIeyes aims to improve digital media literacy, reduce harmful false content, strengthen democratic culture, build partnerships with schools and NGOs, and increase user confidence online.
Do-nothing riskThe document warns that inaction allows misinformation, polarization, youth radicalization, and distrust in democratic institutions to grow further.
Acceptance criteriaSuccess means launching a functional educational website, improving critical thinking and media literacy scores, and achieving GDPR and EU Code of Practice compliance.

Case study and strategic lessons.

MMR case studyThe document uses the false MMR-autism claim as a major case study to show how misinformation can outlive scientific correction, damage public health, and exploit emotional vulnerability.
Key lessonOpenAIeyes should not only provide correct information, but also teach users why misinformation feels convincing and how emotional manipulation works.
Platform defensesThe project should improve AI-generated content detection, build stronger partnerships with experts and institutions, and create user feedback systems to track emerging misinformation trends.
Backup plansThe document recommends automated backups, distributed servers, version control, redundant hosting, security audits, and disaster recovery drills to keep the platform reliable.

Strategy, goals, and analysis.

Project strategyThe six pillars are Trust and Independence, Rapid Detection, Public Engagement, Media Literacy, Ecosystem Partnerships, and Transparency and Accountability.
SMART goalBy 2030, the project aims to launch a fully functional, EU-compliant educational website and AI-driven multi-medium verification tool to raise media literacy and reduce polarization among young Europeans.
SWOTStrengths include EU alignment and educational value; weaknesses include limited scale and resources; opportunities include grants and rising demand; threats include fast-changing misinformation tactics and trust barriers.
