Agreement Value:

$49,860.20

Agreement Date:

Aug 13, 2019 -

Description:

This project focuses on the application of AI to the growing problem of violent non-state actors (VNSAs). It will result in two key deliverables. The first is a comprehensive report that will both explain how AI can successfully project VNSAs' strategic futures and also how the design of AI serving these purposes can avoid inadvertent biases. The second deliverable is a demo of a functioning AI that can project future patterns of sub-state violence, including new attack innovations. The project also plans to present its results at a MINDS EBS.
