RE:DM Nato Report ! First time reading for me ! WOW ! The beauty of this story is governments NEED to use AI to monitor chatter from foreign threats in order to stay competitive globally. It is a must have tool in every country's hybrid warfare belt. So, I feel, not only is this crazy cool stuff, but we are crazy smart investors!

5.0 CONCLUSION We identified evidence of BOTs, with attribution to Russia, meddling in Twitter discussions on Canadian wedge issues. This meddling was mapped onto the BEND framework. In particular, this meddling seemed to be focused in BOOSTING and ENHANCING extreme viewpoints on wedge issues. Focusing on the BOT net identified during this analysis, the propaganda promoted a populist/far-right perspective on establishment politics and pipeline/climate change development (human caused climate change denial). This research was primarily interested in determining the effectiveness of the method and tools for identifying possible foreign influence. Follow on research will look at suspicious users and narratives and how these change over time. While the methodology will be further streamlined, the current NexaIntelligence tool can already be used in identifying foreign information warfare activity on Twitter. In particular, using a combination of blacklist filters, AI driven tools and analytic methodology, an analyst can quickly detect BOT activity, determine probable attribution, identify key messages and narratives, and determine the tactics using the BEND model. Without these tools, this type of activity would take significantly longer to detect and understand. One of the current challenges to this methodology is correctly identifying the relevant narratives and then determining the prevalence and development of those narratives across the Twitter community and through time. To enhance narrative analysis, a tool is in development that will detect ‘Tweet Caboodles’ (individual tweets that are tightly connected in meaning). These caboodles can be combined to identify higher-level issues and topics. Caboodles, issues, and topics will be integrated to help identify how different types of narratives evolve and are propagated by the social network.Propaganda Filters 9 - 12 PUB REF NBR (e.g. STO-MP-IST-999) 6.0 REFERENCES [1] NATO, The dynamics of Russia’s information activities against Ukraine during the Syria campaign. . 2016: NATO Strategic Communications COE, Riga.
