Atlos


Visual investigations at scale
Sp ’22 –


Atlos is a platform for open source visual investigations. It helps journalists, human rights organizations, and OSINT investigators collaborate at scale. Atlos is supported by National Geographic, the Brown Institute, and Microsoft.

Atlos isn’t just a prototype: It already powers Bellingcat’s pioneering investigatory work in Ukraine, through their Global Authentication Project.

Giancarlo Fiorella, an investigator at Bellingcat, called Atlos a “game changer.”
