- Logically launches threat intelligence platform to identify and counter mis- and disinformation at scale.
- Customers at launch include government bodies in the US, UK and India.
The UK-based Logically allows users now to not only identify and analyse online fake media landscape but also provide countermeasures to stop their spread – before they go viral.
Fake news is impacting communities, governments and economies worldwide due to rapid online spread – from unfounded conspiracy theories and regulatory fraud to Covid-19 mistruths.
For a battleground US state in the 2020 election, Logically Intelligence ingested millions of individual pieces of content, further identifying and analysing 40,000 threats to election integrity and public safety for review and countermeasures.
Between January 2020 and February 2021, Logically Intelligence detected over 3.43 million pieces of high threat content, with 1.75 million pieces occurring in the September – November election period in the US.
Logically Intelligence identifies problematic content, actors and activity, and provides countermeasures to address harmful content.
“Over the last few years, the phenomenon of mis- and disinformation has firmly taken root, evolved and proliferated, and is increasingly causing real world harm,” Lyric Jain, founder and CEO of Logically, said.
“Our intensive focus on combating these untruths has culminated in the development of Logically Intelligence, based on several years of frontline operations fighting against the most egregious attacks on facts and reality,” he said.
How Logically Intelligence works
Logically Intelligence partners work from within a customisable Situation Room which share active threats while analyzing current risks of any mis/disinformation campaigns.
In addition, an Explore function leverages data visualisation to allow teams to explore new threats from origins, to threat levels, and more. Threats can be further escalated to the Logically team for personalised investigative services.
Content monitored includes multilingual content from social platforms, blogs, news sources and areas of the dark web.
“The combination of our multi-model advanced AI and highly trained human analysts allows Logically Intelligence to identify harmful issues early, providing the speed, scale and nuance needed to flag issues before they become widespread,” Jain said.
Logically Intelligence was tested in beta format last year with government agencies and bodies in the US and other regions.
Customers at launch include government bodies in the US, UK and India.
