US Special Operations Command can now analyze social media data to capture “emerging narratives” and quickly generate the information a military force would need to stamp out unfriendly trends, even as they are still in the process of going viral.

These Are the Pentagon’s New Ethics “Principles” for AI in Warfare

That’s according to AI software developer, Accrete, which announced in a press release last week it will provide its “open-source threat detection” software, ‘Arugus,’ to the Pentagon to target “synthetic media” and so-called disinformation on social media in real time.

Ay Caramba.. In other words – a propaganda exercise. Whenever western governments talk about misinformation and disinformation they are talking about using propaganda to disseminate THEIR version of misinformation and disinformation!

The Pentagon is investing $2,ooo,ooo,ooo into artificial intelligence

The tool would be used by intelligence analysts and other specialists to “predict real time disinformation threats from social media,” the company explained.

These might include “AI-generated viral narratives, deep fakes, and other harmful social media-based applications of AI,” Accrete CEO Prashant Bhuyan said in the company’s statement, claiming these “pose a serious threat to US national security and civil society” and that social media itself is an “unregulated environment where adversaries routinely exploit reasoning vulnerabilities and manipulate behavior through the intentional spread of disinformation.”

The Pentagon isn’t the only customer that will have access to Argus’ capabilities – a version called Nebula Social is set to be marketed to private corporations in order to manage their online reputations and customers’ conversation about their brand.

“Companies are already experiencing significant economic damage caused by the spread of AI-generated viral disinformation and deep fakes manufactured by competitors, disgruntled employees, and other types of adversaries,” Bhuyan said, arguing the market was looking for military-grade information warfare tools to be shared with the private sector.

“We believe that the market for AI that can predict and neutralize malign AI-generated synthetic media is about to explode,” he predicted. The private-sector version of the software is supposed to protect against “customer pain points” by learning what a company values and responding to the most relevant issues first – before they have a chance to negatively impact client behavior – with autonomously-generated content, i.e. synthetic media.

The Pentagon’s Defense Innovation Unit, co-founded by ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt, initially worked with Accrete to develop Argus in November, paying millions of dollars for a five-year license to the program designed to – among other things – uncover “behavioral anomalies indicative of potentially illicit activity that are too complex for humans to identify.”

The Americans are really going to be properly controlled by their government, I guess a lot of them will join the expat communities in Chile, Panama and other countries where they can live their lives freely without harassment. Even Americans in Russia say they are happy and will not go back. I guess there is life beyond the borders of the great west after all. 4 hr

The Ministry of Truth. It is so pathetic and so predictable. It is the resort of any government, organisation, body, group or DESPOT that cannot withstand open scrutiny, transparency, or challenge. When those who would be ‘dictators’ are unable to justify or argue their cause in an open forum because they are simply wrong. 6 hr

It can’t as any website can simply turn off the comments section. Even DOS attacks can be thwarted using DevOps principles and cloud servers these days. AI can check code for exploits and block attacks that way as well. Russia has its own cloud servers. Google has set back technology at least 40 years by the way. It has innovated nothing. DevOps was promoted by Amazon and then Microsoft. DevOps is based on open-source OS called Linux which is free. For $50 a month I can use real-time AI that blocks Accrete’s malicious bots. Imagine what Russia can do to block USA government bots. 8 hr

So in order to deal with what they claim to be AI generated false narratives, they are creating software to produce AI generated false narratives. What happens when everyone starts using this software? 10 hr…………. + many more…
