Adversaries exploit misinformation and true information delivered via influence messaging: blogs, tweets, and other online multimedia content. Analysts require effective tools for continual sensemaking of the vast, noisy, adaptive information environment to identify adversary influence campaigns,\u201d the BAA reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/opinion\/2020\/08\/28\/deepfake-text-potential-ai-influences-on-the-upcoming-us-election\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/snagfilms-a.akamaihd.netrobot-ai-computer-keyboar-964bf0728af709a2cc2eccd8a667bca448adf3ca-1.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Deepfake text: Potential AI influences on the upcoming US election<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Now that the power of AI capabilities has been proven, other groups will no doubt try to replicate the results and leverage them for both personal and political gain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the project, DARPA seeks to improve upon current social media tools to track influence operations. The current tools, the solicitation reads, requires a major manual effort in which analysts have to sift through \u201chigh volumes\u201d of messages and decide which ones are relevant and gaining traction, using tools for digital marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese tools lack explanatory and predictive power for deeper issues of geopolitical influence,\u201d the solicitation reads. \u201cAudience analysis is often done using static, demographic segmentation based on online and survey data. This lacks the flexibility, resolution, and timeliness needed for dynamic geopolitical influence campaign detection and sensemaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program has five technical areas. Technical area one focuses on using automated influence detection to enable analysts to analyze influence campaigns. The second area will \u201cdynamically segment&#8221; the population that is responding to influence campaigns, and identify \u201cpsychographic attributes relevant to geopolitical influence,\u201d such as \u201cworldviews, morals and sacred values.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The INCAS tool\u2019s third technical area will assist analysts in linking influence indicators and population response over time across several platforms, in order to capture influence campaigns as they evolve over time. The fourth area will create infrastructure to provide data feeds from online sources to the other three technical areas, and the final technical area will conduct technology evaluations and will not be competed as part the the BAA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DARPA expects multiple awards for technical areas one and two, and single awards for technical areas three and four. Abstracts are due Nov. 17, 2020, with proposals due Jan. 8, 2021. Awards will be made around July 2021 using standard procurement contracts or Other Transaction Agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new solicitation wants automated tools
