- Description
- The MICE AIE effort will develop a prototype open-source, AI-enabled software and algorithms that measure how digitally authoritarian regimes repress their populations at scale over the Internet via censorship, blocking, or throttling. MICE-developed technology will continuously and automatically update and feed into easily-understood dashboards in order to develop comprehensive, real-time ground truth understanding of how countries conduct domestic information control. MICE will measure how countries censor, block, or throttle specific Internet-based activities; MICE will also try to determine the technical capabilities that countries use to enable such repressive activities. To comprehensively understand the scope of these activities, MICE performers will discover and track changes over time to adversary techniques across various abstractions of the information environment, from network level (e.g., netflow, DNS, IP address, protocol, applications, etc.) to the information level (e.g., topics, images, audio, video, etc.), though no single performer is expected to examine all these levels simultaneously.
