People saying DC isn’t a fair compromise between San Diego and Fredericksburg have clearly never tried driving from DC to Fredericksburg

[CYBERWARCON @CYBERWARCON]

Announcing (most of) this year's CYBERWARCON speaker lineup! We've got some fantastic talks this year, and more will be announced soon. Don't miss your chance to register now! Thank you everyone who submitted to the CFP. The selection was a truly grueling process!

I won't link to the full fabricated video here, but if you've seen it, it is obviously manipulated based on the splicing of different clips of Miller and the audio not lining up with the video. But is it actually a "deepfake"? The answer, I think, will lie in the audio

[Lee Foster @LeeFosterIntel]

🧵I made a side by side comparison of the recently reported "deepfake" video of State Department spokesman, Matthew Miller implying the U.S. tacitly supports Ukrainian strikes on the Russian city of Belgorod. What do people think?

[Lee Foster @LeeFosterIntel]

Beyond the video comparison, if the imagery itself was manipulated with AI in any way, it raises questions about the behavior of the creator: why go to that length only to give it away by splicing it w/ another clip of Miller in which he is wearing a completely different outfit!

[Foreign Affairs @ForeignAffairs]

“Exaggerating the effects of foreign influence campaigns serves only the foreign operatives.” @olgs7, Lee Foster, @RidT, and Gavin Wilde explain how overhyped reports can bolster propaganda efforts—and foster mistrust in open democratic debate.

Excited to announce that Aspect Labs has joined @NIST's Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium as an inaugural member. Looking forward to working alongside so many prominent organizations and talented researchers focused on AI safety and security!

[Aspect Labs @Aspect_Labs]

We're excited to be named an inaugural member of the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium. Led by @NIST @CommerceGov, USAISI brings together more than 200 leading AI stakeholders to help advance safe, secure, and trustworthy AI. https://t.co/uNSTl6eTHe

Going to tell my kids this was the real escalator ride that changed America. #cyberwarcon

It was over too fast 😭

[Lee Foster @LeeFosterIntel]

@gavinbwilde Thank you!

[Lee Foster @LeeFosterIntel]

I’ve teamed up with @baykenney to found @aspect_labs (https://t.co/559Vu2C4FE), where we are working to help secure AI deployments against bias, misuse, and adversarial attacks.

[Matthew Kenney @baykenney]

Excited to launch Aspect Labs to secure machine learning models in production.

[CYBERWARCON @CYBERWARCON]

Welcome back from lunch! @LeeFosterIntel kicks off our lightning round with a presentation on generative AI and information operations. #CYBERWARCON

[David Mainor @DavidMainor13]

Loved seeing my former boss @LeeFosterIntel talk about threats posed by AI in the IO space. My favorite takeaway was his comment about how "scale does not equal traction," citing the hurdles threat actors still have to overcome when conducting influence campaigns #DRAGONBRIDGE
