Blood drenched walls, fingers and toes cast on the floor, screams of pain and denial emanating from bloodied and torn mouths. All as a result of one thing. The search for truth!
History is awash with blood spilt in the quest for the truth. Centuries of warfare and espionage have given rise to a dark underbelly of subterfuge and betrayal, where secrets and lies festered. Over time, techniques and technologies emerged and were used to force the keepers of secrets to reveal their truths.
Historically, sourcing the truth from unwilling individuals was a painful and physical process. Torturers and interrogators played a vital role, employing implements like branding, cutting, compressing, and stretching to inflict pain in various ways. The challenge, however, was discerning whether the information obtained was genuine or coerced under duress. Let’s face it, even the most innocent of people would be tempted to just “confess” to a crime, or make up something that seems plausible, if constantly being pressured through the application of pain.
As time progressed, so did the techniques. Psychological methods, such as waterboarding, sensory deprivation, and overload, emerged. The steady march of technology introduced electrocution and chemical-based “truth serums,” aimed at lowering inhibitions and extracting information with minimal resistance.
The truly barbarous and medieval methods have fallen by the wayside due, in part, to advancements in technological methods for gathering information. Satellite spy systems, computer hacking, and other sophisticated tools have rendered these brutal methods nearly obsolete.
While claims persist of the continuation of these activities, physical and chemical-based truth extraction methods are universally condemned and against the rule of law. Modern ethical standards dictate that prisoners of war are to be treated humanely, prohibiting any form of mistreatment.
War, once a source of despicable atrocities, is now increasingly observed through the lens of technology.
However, the human art of lying persists, with today’s deceivers often clad in suits, more frequently, occupying boardrooms, government positions, or appearing on television.
The impact of lies has shifted from the battlefield to boardrooms and political arenas. Politicians and company leaders wield significant influence, and their deception can cause considerable harm. Promises made during elections are rescinded, and public exposure of lies often occurs when corrective action is no longer possible. Modern geo-political and financial landscapes have been badly scarred by malpractice and lies: Investments destroyed, wars started and the health of millions of people have been affected by straight out lies and deception.
Discerning lies in the modern world is a challenging endeavour. The common people are more likely to be misled by those in positions of power. Politicians and corporate leaders disseminate misinformation, and individuals must navigate a complex landscape of truths, half-truths, and blatant lies.
Recognizing the need for accurate information without resorting to violence has spurred the development of innovative, non-invasive, ways to extract the truth and gather intelligence.
Technological advancements continue to redefine the methods and tools at our disposal. One such system is Serum, by Catena Cap, a Multi-Agent AI technology designed to integrate into the field of intelligence gathering by providing insights into the behaviour and statements of political and business leaders.
Serum employs a comprehensive array of technologies to analyse over 30 scientifically recognised physiological traits that are indicators of typical emotional responses in most people. This is not merely a product of technological innovation; it is fortified by the amalgamation of scientific research from experts like Brandon Cooper and Susan Constantine. Machine Learning & Predictive Data analytics from John D. Kelleher and Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems serve as pillars, ensuring Serum’s efficacy in visually analyzing leaders.
Initial tests with Serum have shown promising results, particularly in the analysis of political leaders. By scrutinizing facial expressions, detecting deception, tracking gaze, analyzing emotions and context, and identifying pain points during interviews, Serum enhances the accuracy and reliability of political intelligence gathering. In military applications, Serum displays potential in assessing enemy combatants, analysing threats through gaze tracking, emotional and speech analysis, and detecting deception for counterintelligence purposes.
Beyond its initial success, Serum opens doors to various applications. It has the potential to offer analysis of political events, aiding in situational awareness and decision-making. Moreover, Serum can be employed to analyse vast amounts of social media data, providing insights into public opinion and identifying potential threats.
Serum represents forward movement in AI technology, offering currently unmatched (as far as we know) capabilities for intelligence gathering in political and military spheres. Its fusion of technologies, scientific underpinnings, and enforced learning offer a robust framework that could become a transformative force in shaping the future of intelligence analysis. As technology continues to advance, Serum provides a glimpse into the potential of AI in understanding the intricacies of human behaviour and decision-making in critical scenarios.
Catena Cap is a privately owned organisation that operates within the closed/private hedge fund market. Utilizing a wide selection of internally created AI mechanisms and traditional analysis to guide its investment strategies Catena Cap sits in a rather unique position. Many of our customer facing services are, quite simply, integral parts of our main analytical system which have been given a user interface so as to be used individually while still performing their originally intended functions with the overall ecosystem.
