Pentagon Wants To Police Social Media Fake News And Deep Fakes

activistpost (67) in media • 7 days ago

By Aaron Kesel

The U.S. wants to use the military's Pentagon arm to police fake news online; what can possibly go wrong?

According to reports, the Pentagon's DARPA research agency has announced it will deploy online cyber forces to watch for “large-scale, automated disinformation attacks,” using specialized software to detect deep fakes of photos, videos and audio clips, Bloomberg reported.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants custom software that can unearth fakes hidden among more than 500,000 stories, photos, video and audio clips. If successful, the system after four years of trials may expand to detect malicious intent and prevent viral fake news from polarizing society.
