The US government is developing AI that uncovers the identity of anonymous writers



IARPA , which invests in high-risk and high-payoff research as the central agency of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is working on developing a program that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover the identity of anonymous writers. became clear.

On September 27, 2022, IARPA, the research and development arm of ODNI, an intelligence agency under the jurisdiction of the U.S. government, unveiled the program ``The Human Interpretable Attribution of Text Using,'' aiming to develop AI to identify and protect text authors. Underlying Structure (HIATUS: Human Interpretable Attribution Expressions Using Structures Contained in Texts)” was launched.

IARPA describes HIATUS as 'the latest research effort by the information community to advance human language technology.' In addition, it explains that it will be useful for 'countering malicious information manipulation from overseas' and 'protecting authors who may be endangered by their writing.'



Through the HIATUS program, IARPA explains that it will develop AI that enables the following use cases:

・AI that extracts features such as word selection, phrasing, sentence structure, etc. that lead to identifying “who wrote the sentence” and enables multilingual author attribution.
・AI that makes it possible to protect the privacy of authors by modifying language patterns that indicate the author's identity
・AI that can explain to novice users why a particular piece of text is attributed to a particular author, and why a particular revision protects the author's privacy

HIATUS Manager Dr. Tim McKinnon said, 'The developers involved in the development of HIATUS are those who can take a unique, fresh and compelling approach to HIATUS challenges.' By taking advantage of the progress of , it will be possible to greatly expand our understanding of variations in human language.'

In addition,

Charles River Analytics , Leidos , Raytheon BBN , SRI International , University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern California, and more than 20 academic institutions, non-profit organizations, and companies will participate in the development of HIATUS.



Additionally, HIATUS will be tested and evaluated by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the University of Maryland Institute for Information and Security Applications.
