Short description
Huge amounts of data are generated on the internet every day and the amount of information is growing exponentially. Hidden in this flood of data are often small nuggets of gold: thanks to seemingly insignificant information, we can recognize patterns and discover clues that we need in our research to answer a wide range of questions.
In the age of Artificial Intelligence, however, it is also important that we are able to check the validity of this information and recognize potential misinformation or fake news.
OSINT is a process that offers a range of tools and methods to find the needle in the haystack and separate the wheat from the chaff.
