what are the odds trump team mensa has decent surface area for a covert cyberAIagent?Remember "Iran/Contra" alum John Poindexter? He was running a program, later called "Total Information Awareness", which had a stated objective of scanning all communications for certain key words. iirc, privacy concerns compelled Congress to defund the project, but the suspicion is it was simply driven into the DoD's classified ops, so it was hidden from Congress. I would imagine AI would make that program vastly more efficient, because they would no longer need a human to look at the context that a key word was used in, to determine if it's the boogyman talking, or someone wishing his grandfather happy birthday.
Project Genoa
Project Genoa was a software project commissioned by the United States' DARPA which was designed to analyze large amounts of data and metadata to help human analysts counter terrorism.
Genoa was conceived in late 1995 by retired Rear Admiral John Poindexter, a chief player in the Iran-Contra Affair. At the time, Poindexter was working at Syntek, a company often contracted to do work for the Department of Defense.[2] He proposed a computer system that would help humans crunch large amounts of data in order to more effectively predict potential national security threats. Poindexter brought his ideas to former colleagues working with the United States National Security Council. en.wikipedia.org - Project GenoaTotal Information Awareness
Total Information Awareness (TIA) was a mass detection program[clarification needed] by the United States Information Awareness Office. It operated under this title from February to May 2003 before being renamed Terrorism Information Awareness.[1][2]
Based on the concept of predictive policing, TIA was meant to correlate detailed information about people in order to anticipate and prevent terrorist incidents before execution.[3] The program modeled specific information sets in the hunt for terrorists around the globe.[4] Admiral John Poindexter called it a "Manhattan Project for counter-terrorism".[5] According to Senator Ron Wyden, TIA was the "biggest surveillance program in the history of the United States".[6]
Congress defunded the Information Awareness Office in late 2003 after media reports criticized the government for attempting to establish "Total Information Awareness" over all citizensen.wikipedia.org - Total Information AwarenessSteve
