The Department of State has stopped working on an artificial intelligence project that sought to test the connection between the activities of overseas social media and violent extremist organizations. According to the agency, the AI tool was designed to predict outcomes using statistical models. The pilot project was also applied to COVID-19 cases and violent incidents linked with social media posts, the department added. Notably, the State Department did not say how the experimental AI tool was designed or tested and why the project was halted, FedScoop reported.
