Active Intelligence Database (AID): A Real-Time Hub for Global Terrorism Analysis
The Active Intelligence Database (AID) is a cutting-edge initiative by Rise to Peace, designed to educate, inform, and connect individuals with real-time data on global terrorism. Unlike traditional databases, AID is built for accessibility, recency, and transparency, ensuring that users—whether researchers, policymakers, or the general public—have immediate and clear insights into global terrorism threats.
While many databases focus on historical trends and complex academic analysis, AID is structured to deliver real-time, actionable intelligence that helps users stay informed on evolving security threats worldwide.
📌 Our Three Core Goals
1️⃣ Accessibility: Making Terrorism Data Understandable for Everyone
While academic research is essential for policymaking, peace and security are built from the ground up. Everyday individuals—not just analysts and government officials—should have access to clear, concise, and actionable information about terrorism.
✅ Designed for public engagement—no jargon, just facts
✅ User-friendly interface to navigate global terrorism incidents
✅ Bridging the gap between expert analysis and everyday awareness
📢 While this may involve trade-offs in data complexity, we believe making information accessible and engaging is a critical step toward global peace.
2️⃣ Real-Time Updates: Tracking Terrorism as It Happens
Most terrorism databases focus on historical patterns, often providing dated analysis that fails to reflect ongoing security concerns. The AID web application is designed to automatically update through Airtable integration, ensuring that:
✔ Users receive the most recent terrorism data as incidents unfold
✔ Current events and threats are tracked in real-time
✔ Decision-makers, journalists, and researchers stay ahead of emerging trends
📢 While rapid updates may sacrifice some deep-data validation, we prioritize real-time awareness over retrospective analysis.
3️⃣ Credit & Transparency: Recognizing Frontline Sources
Most global terrorism databases cite sources in footnotes or internal reports—but we go further. At Rise to Peace, we believe in:
🔹 Highlighting the original sources behind every data point
🔹 Providing direct access to field reports, hyperlinks, and PDFs
🔹 Giving due credit to journalists, analysts, and organizations that risk their safety to report on extremism
📢 The AID Source Archives include detailed citations, direct links, and source notes embedded within the database—allowing users to verify and explore each incident in-depth.
