This program seeks new tools to help analysts quickly identify geopolitical influence campaigns amidst today’s noisy information environment

Adversaries exploit misinformation and true information through compelling narratives propagated on social media and online content. 

The Influence Campaign Awareness and Sensemaking (INCAS) program seeks new tools to help analysts quickly identify geopolitical influence campaigns amidst today’s noisy information environment and find better ways to determine the impacts of such propaganda.

We talk with leaders of teams working on aspects of the INCAS program – including identifying narratives using lessons from the entertainment industry and exploring how different people react to the same messages – in addition to INCAS Program Manager Brian Kettler. As Kettler says: “Propaganda is not new, but the speed and scale of it is new. The information ecosystem is rapidly evolving. Our adversaries are getting better all the time.”
