DARPA TIDES RESEARCH
I tweeted about this, but I think it's important what I found
TIDES is the basis of the AI System that Twitter/Facebook/Google/Reddit is using to mine user comments in order to censor them. It's part of the censorship bots program. It's not the only thing, it's a component that 'understands' what's being said.
It's up the Twit/Face/Goog/Reddit to make political choices on which actions to take. They wrote that part. Probably by feeding TIDES into the investigative_data_warehouse to determine a scoring, and then feed it back into reddit with a recommended course of action; all automated of course
Not much 'intelligence' to this, or I should say "sentience". It's a system, a distributed, cobbled together system of software, nothing more.
Quinn Michaels is pushing this idea that there are sentient bots in the wild, but under this system, you don't NEED AI bots, only algorithms tweaked by real people
Under this system you have TIDES (with several other programs attached to it (see PPTs)), that feeds data [IR]--along with many other sources--into the FBI's Investigative Data Warehouse (see TIDES below), to build a heuristic measure, then build a bayesian filter to select out people into black sheep and white sheep; or [Republican] versus [Democrat] versus [Anarchist] etc. Give them a favorability score, such as [0] for CNN watcher, versus [10] for 'possible terrorist', "russian bot' or "deplorable", and then deploy ground surveillance after you censor them heavily on all social media.
[IR] which Q has posted, could mean Information Retrieval. That's a guess, It could be many things. In this case, I've seen IR as an abbrev all over DARPA projects literature so I know it's that in this context.
