Lunch & Learn: From Outrage to Impact: Understanding and Mitigating Narrative Threats

Lunch is on us — bring your curiosity.

In just 30 minutes, we’ll serve up a sharp, bite-sized briefing on one of today’s most misunderstood risks: manipulated narratives.

Imagine a wave of outrage seemingly erupting overnight, targeting your brand, leadership, and policies. But behind the noise? Bot networks, fringe voices, and coordinated actors engineering false narratives to look widespread and real.

This is narrative manipulation at scale — and it’s hitting both public and private sectors hard.

Join Dr. Bilyana Lilly, author of Digital Mindhunters, and Wasim Khaled, CEO of Blackbird.AI, as they unpack how narrative attacks distort perception and how Narrative Intelligence equips organizations to detect, decode, and defend.

Key Takeaways:

  • How manufactured consensus is created and why it spreads so fast
  • Real-world tactics used to amplify false narratives and trigger reputational or operational risk
  • Where traditional monitoring tools fall short and how AI-driven Narrative Intelligence fills the gap
  • Why both public institutions and private companies are being targeted, and what attackers are after
  • Key signals surfaced by Blackbird.AI’s Constellation platform to detect narrative manipulation early
