US Special Operations Command contracts with NY AI firm to combat online disinformation

"US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has contracted Accrete AI to deploy software that detects “real time” disinformation threats on social media."
The company’s Argus anomaly detection AI software analyzes social media data, accurately capturing “emerging narratives” and generating intelligence reports for military forces to speedily neutralize disinformation threats.
“Synthetic 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,” Accrete founder and CEO Prashant Bhuyan said.
“Social media is widely recognized as an unregulated environment where adversaries routinely exploit reasoning vulnerabilities and manipulate behavior through the intentional spread of disinformation.
“USSOCOM 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’s mission.”
The US Department of Defense first partnered with Accrete for the Argus platform’s licensing contract in November 2022.
Enterprise Version for Business
The company also revealed that it will launch an enterprise version of Argus Social for disinformation detection later this year.
The AI software will provide protection for “urgent customer pain points” against AI-generated synthetic media, such as viral disinformation and deep fakes.
“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. We believe that the market for AI that can predict and neutralize malign AI-generated synthetic media is about to explode,” he added.

Even with the best of intentions, there is no way this doesn’t end badly.
Although just give me 50 high-ranking US intelligence officials to give their seal of approval and all is well.

SOCOM has a domestic mission now, that involves fighting internal dissent?
I mean that’s my takeaway.
I assume they would use this to identify the sources of negative information, so they could be killed.

Free speech only gets you so far these days. Free speech on social media never really existed, between big tech and government, free speech online doesn’t matter.

Interesting. I wonder what that AI will do when all the Reddit warriors freak out in every city the 160th trains in. Everytime there is chatter about this being the governments invasion of X city.

Disinformation is whatever the federal government says it is
