Blackbird.AI CEO Wasim Khaled sits down with Michael Novinson of ISMG at Black Hat to discuss how AI and agentic systems are accelerating narrative attacks against organizations and the public sector.
This interview covers:
- What narrative attacks are and how they differ from traditional social media monitoring
- How the cost of narrative attacks has dropped significantly due to the scale of AI
- How information operations run alongside cyber attacks to amplify damage
- The difference between organic public sentiment and coordinated manipulation by state actors and bot networks
- How Blackbird.AI analyzes narratives, networks, and actor groups to separate signal from noise
- Agentic detection, simulation, and prediction of how narratives might evolve
- Why frontier models alone cannot solve this problem without a judgment layer
