Democrats to Use Pentagon-Funded AI System to Target Pro-Trump Narratives Online
Democrats have converted an AI project that was initially funded by the department of defense to combat propaganda from ISIS and other extremists, into a tool to track down and counter Trump supporters on social media.
The “Defeat Disinfo” group is being advised by retired Army General Stanley McChrystal.
The project is called “Defeat Disinfo,” a creation of entrepreneur Curtis Hougland.
It was initially funded by the Pentagon’s top-secret DARPA research agency, when the goal of the technology was to identify and counter online narratives from Islamic extremists.
Founded by technology entrepreneur Curtis Hougland, it is still advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led U.S. forces in Afghanistan until 2010.
Now Democrats are using the state-funded technology to defeat Trump.
As initially reported by the Washington Post:
A new Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former head of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, is planning to deploy technology originally developed to counter Islamic State propaganda in service of a domestic political goal — to combat online efforts to promote President Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The group, Defeat Disinfo, will use artificial intelligence and network analysis to map discussion of the president’s claims on social media. It will seek to intervene by identifying the most popular counter-narratives and boosting them through a network of more than 3.4 million influencers across the country — in some cases paying users with large followings to take sides against the president.
According to the Post, retired army general McChrystal stopped short of endorsing Trump’s opponent, Joe Biden, even though he is advising a digital effort to defeat the former and elect the latter.
