Narrative Intelligence is a new defense category that helps brands and public-sector organizations make better decisions by surfacing hidden risk signals and combat narrative attacks fueled by misinformation and disinformation.
A narrative attack is a deliberate attempt to manipulate public opinion about a person, place, or thing by spreading misinformation and disinformation. The goal is to damage a target’s reputation. Narrative attacks can quickly scale in this digital age, which is why Narrative Intelligence platforms like Blackbird.AI are so important.
Most organizations are unprepared for harmful narratives, contagion effects, bot-driven manipulations, and hyper-agenda-driven threat actors. You can detect and understand narrative threats by using a narrative intelligence tool like Blackbird.AI. With Blackbird.AI you can analyze risks in text, images, and memes. You can see across the dark web, social media, news sites, and more.
Understanding Narratives: Narratives are storylines and themes that evolve around a specific topic, event, or organization. They shape public perception and understanding, often influencing opinions and decision-making. The Networks They Span: Analyzing networks helps identify influential actors, key communication channels, and the spread of information within communities. The Cohorts That Connect Them: Understanding cohorts allows for deeper insights into how different online tribes engage with and respond to key narratives across various sectors, industries, or topics. The Anomalous Bot Behavior that Scales Them: This can include coordinated campaigns, bots, or other artificial means of influencing public discourse and perception. Measuring Engagement: Measuring engagement helps assess the reach and influence of these actors on shaping public opinion and the overall conversation surrounding a topic.
Narrative attacks can spread rapidly online, often reaching millions of people within hours or even minutes of posting. The spread depends on various factors, including the emotional resonance of the narrative, the networks and influencers amplifying it, and the algorithms of the platforms on which it is shared.
Social media platforms play a key role in amplifying disinformation, often unintentionally. Their business models and algorithms are designed to maximize engagement, which can lead to the rapid spread of emotionally charged or controversial content, regardless of its accuracy.
There are several signs of a potential narrative attack to look out for, including a sudden spike in negative or false stories about your organization, coordinated amplification of these stories across multiple platforms or accounts, and the use of manipulated or misleading content (e.g., doctored images, out-of-context quotes). Other indicators might include increased trolling or harassing behavior targeting your brand or employees, the co-opting of your brand hashtags, or imagery by bad actors. Monitoring for these signs requires a comprehensive and ongoing approach to narrative intelligence.
AI is used in narrative intelligence in various ways, including natural language processing to analyze narrative content and sentiment, machine learning to identify patterns and anomalies in the spread of information, and network analysis to map the relationships between different actors and communities. AI can also be used to automate the detection of malicious bots or coordinated inauthentic behavior and to aid in creating and disseminating counter-narratives. As the field advances, the applications of AI in narrative intelligence are likely to expand even further.
