Visualizing Cognitive Warfare: Identify Narratives as they Evolve

We are in an era of cognitive warfare.

The battlefield is your mind and the weapon is the narrative. Adversaries are creating narratives to suit their strategic objectives and undermine the United States and using social media to amplify their campaigns. Influence is infiltrating the social media feeds shaping public opinion, sowing chaos, and manipulating behavior.

In order for the U.S. to proactively shape and maneuver in the narrative space, it must see how sentiment and narratives evolve. Effective campaigns and strong cognitive security measures begin with understanding the information environment.

Algorithms enhance reach, reactions reflect emotions, and shares build networks - all of which can be monitored and analyzed using AI.

Join Accrete AI Government for an exclusive webinar discussing the importance of narrative analysis and its role in cognitive warfare. See how cognitive warfare tactics unfold in real time and how Argus, Accrete’s AI-powered social media influence tool, empowers analysts to detect, decode, and dominate in the information environment.
