Annnd\u2026 Here we go.\u00a0 If you have not read the background {Go Deep<\/a>}, you will not have the appropriate context to absorb the latest revelation about how the Dept of Defense will now conduct online monitoring operations, using enhanced AI to protect the U.S. internet from \u201cdisinformation\u201d under the auspices of national security.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Gee, who would have predicted that U.S. internet operations would suddenly have a totally new set of enhanced AI guardians at the gateways?\u00a0\"????\"<\/p>\n

Read Carefully \u2013\u00a0Eyes Wide Open<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has\u00a0contracted<\/a>\u00a0New York-based Accrete AI to deploy software that detects \u201creal time\u201d disinformation threats on social media.<\/em><\/p>\n

The company\u2019s Argus anomaly detection AI software analyzes social media data, accurately capturing \u201cemerging narratives\u201d and generating intelligence reports for military forces to speedily neutralize disinformation threats.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSynthetic media, including AI-generated viral narratives, deep fakes, and other harmful social media-based applications of AI, pose a serious threat to US national security and civil society,\u201d Accrete founder and CEO\u00a0Prashant Bhuyan<\/b>\u00a0said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSocial media is widely recognized as an unregulated environment where adversaries routinely exploit reasoning vulnerabilities and manipulate behavior through the intentional spread of disinformation.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cUSSOCOM is at the tip of the spear in recognizing the critical need to identify and analytically predict social media narratives at an embryonic stage before those narratives evolve and gain traction. Accrete is proud to support USSOCOM\u2019s mission.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

But wait\u2026 It gets worse!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[PRIVATE SECTOR VERSION]<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The company also revealed that it will launch an enterprise version of Argus Social for disinformation detection later this year.<\/em><\/p>\n

The AI software will provide protection for \u201curgent customer pain points\u201d against AI-generated synthetic media, such as viral disinformation and deep fakes.<\/em><\/p>\n
