T3K-Forensics

T3K-Forensics GmbH, operating under the brand T3K.AI, is an Austrian artificial intelligence company that develops machine-learning solutions for law enforcement agencies and private enterprises. The company positions itself as a global leader in AI solutions for finding and classifying illegal and harmful content, with a particular focus on child sexual abuse material (CSAM), terrorism and violent extremism content (TVEC), narcotics, and media related to military equipment and personnel. Its stated mission is to make the world a safer place by detecting and stopping the spread of illicit content. T3K was founded by specialists in expert witness work and digital forensics consulting. The company originally operated as a service provider for expert witness work in digital forensics. As cases related to CSAM increased, the founders decided to apply their expert knowledge to develop AI-based tools that could make investigators' jobs easier and faster. This transition from a services firm to a product company led to the development of a suite of AI classifiers that the company says offer the highest detection rate on the market. The company's product portfolio includes LEAP, an automated tool for quick analysis of data from mobiles and other sources, providing automated media classification to detect illicit content, analyse communication patterns, verify identities, countries of origin, and quickly screen persons of interest. CORE is an image and video classifier that screens data to find illegal and inappropriate content such as child sexual abuse material and terrorism; it is described as the world leader in child abuse detection and is an API-only solution that can be integrated into existing content review workflows. MEDETO automatically creates captions of photos and videos, especially for highly sensitive and psychologically burdensome content like CSAM, with neutral and medical in tone captions that provide AI-generated text for reports while aiding mental wellbeing. T3K serves law enforcement agencies and private companies. Its AI classifiers are designed to accelerate investigations, reduce time-consuming work, and reduce the emotional challenges associated with reviewing harmful content. The company is headquartered in Austria and markets itself with the hashtag #madeinaustria. Its international team includes experts from the digital forensics and trust & safety space. The leadership team includes Felix Klier as Founder and CEO, Martina Tschapka as Director Operations, Richard Köwer as Chief Technology Officer, Gareth Ballance as Head of Product, and David Weichselbaum as Chief Research Officer. As a private company, T3K-Forensics GmbH does not disclose detailed financial information publicly. It continues to operate as a specialist provider of AI-driven content detection and classification tools for the safety and security sector.

T3K-Forensics GmbH began as a service provider for expert witness work in digital forensics. The company's founders were specialists in expert witness work and digital forensics consulting. As the volume of cases related to child sexual abuse material (CSAM) increased, the team recognized a need for more efficient tools to assist investigators. This led to a strategic shift: instead of only providing expert services, T3K decided to develop machine-learning-based solutions that could automate the detection and classification of illegal and harmful content. The company developed a suite of AI classifiers designed to accelerate investigations and reduce the emotional toll on investigators who must review disturbing material. Its flagship products include LEAP, an automated tool for quick analysis of data from mobiles and other sources; CORE, an image and video classifier that screens data for illegal and inappropriate content such as CSAM and terrorism; and MEDETO, a tool that automatically creates neutral, medical-tone captions for sensitive photos and videos to aid in report writing and mental wellbeing. T3K positions itself as a world leader in CSAM detection and also in the detection of media related to military equipment and personnel, narcotics, and terrorism and violent extremism content (TVEC). The company markets itself with the hashtag #madeinaustria, highlighting its Austrian origins. It serves both law enforcement agencies and private enterprises, offering API-only solutions that can be integrated into existing content review workflows. The company's international team includes experts from the digital forensics and trust & safety space. Leadership includes Felix Klier (Founder & CEO), Martina Tschapka (Director Operations), Richard Köwer (Chief Technology Officer), Gareth Ballance (Head of Product), and David Weichselbaum (Chief Research Officer). T3K continues to operate as a private company focused on harnessing AI for good.
