For Policymakers & Researchers

Exploitation Intelligence for Policymakers & Researchers

We work with legislators, academic institutions, clearinghouses and philanthropic funders who share our conviction that technology decisions in counter-exploitation are mental health decisions, evidentiary decisions and policy decisions all at once. If your work touches this ecosystem, we may be able to problem-solve together.

Regulatory frameworks and the technology built to meet them move together. GEN sits at that intersection: practitioners building the tools, and advisors shaping the policy environment that determines whether those tools can be used at all.

Programs

Exploitation Intelligence Programs for Policymakers & Researchers

Research Partnerships

Data & AI Research Partnerships

Structured access to de-identified case pattern data from our work across 200+ law enforcement agencies in 30+ countries, available to qualified academic and research partners under formal partnership agreements.

Risk & Ethics Frameworks

AI Testing and Training Ethics Framework

Provides legislators and institutions a tiered structure for evaluating risks and rewards when training detection models on CSAM-related documentation, from publicly available court records through fully consented, multi-jurisdictional research data.

Regulatory Mapping

Regulatory Landscape Mapping

Analysis of how platform accountability legislation moves across jurisdictions, including how US frameworks like SESTA-FOSTA have shaped the EU's Digital Services Act and CSDDD, and where the resulting "knowing paradox" creates real liability questions for platforms trying to do the right thing.

Services

Exploitation Intelligence Services for Policymakers & Researchers

Legislative Advisory

Direct advisory work with legislators and international coalitions on regulatory frameworks that enable cross-border intelligence sharing without compromising victim privacy.

Briefings & Testimony

Congressional briefings, EU policy consultations and testimony preparation, grounded in a decade of frontline data rather than theory.

Academic & Institutional Research

Collaborative research partnerships with universities, clearinghouses and NGOs, connecting real deployment data to the questions your institution is trying to answer.

Speaking & Training

Our team speaks and trains at major counter-exploitation and digital forensics conferences each year, and is available for custom briefings to legislative offices, funder boards and research institutions.
