Can you prevent a terrorist attack by analyzing what happens in books and movies? Yes, people at Pandora Intelligence think so! By combining information about historical attacks with books and series about terrorism (such as Homeland), Peter de Kock and Ard Jol make it difficult for terrorists.

“We look at story components and relate them to criminal behavior,” explains De Kock. “This rule also applies in the real world. For example, the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were symbolic locations that stood for the United States.”

Pandora Intelligence works with twelve components, including ‘false clues’ and the ‘role of the victim’. The information from each incident is processed in complex knowledge and data graphs that can be compared with each other using Artificial Intelligence algorithms.
