USSCOCOM Awards Contract To Deploy AI Tool To Detect Disinformation Threats

What The AI Threat Detection Software Does, And Its Potential To Be Used As A Tool To Target Americans.

NEW YORK - After U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) awarded Accrete with a five-year multi-million dollar Other Transaction Production (OT-P) software licensing contract for a duel-use open-source anomaly/threat detection software called Argus in 2021, the company has now been awarded a new contract to deploy the AI detection software to detect "disinformation threats" on social media, and other online platforms.

According to Accrete, Argus is a "real-time" and "continuously learning" AI threat detection software with the ability to "learn from sparse data" and configurable to be used for social media intelligence, reverse engineering, and logistics disruption for both governmental uses, as well as commercial. 

The software will be used to aid the Department of Defense in predicting "bad actors" who may be obscuring their identities in order to "influence the supply chain", and has been helping the United States Air Force reverse engineer binaries from microprocessor manuals in order to "detect vulnerabilities in firmware".
