NEW - U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has contracted a NY-based AI firm to deploy "Argus", a system to detect and "neutralize" 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.
