Case Study: NATO counters foreign disinformation with Blackbird.AI

NATO cuts analyst hours by 50% with Blackbird.AI

The customer, NATO, faced a sustained increase in coordinated disinformation campaigns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. These campaigns spread false narratives across multiple languages to undermine alliance unity. Existing monitoring tools could not identify the origins of these attacks, prompting NATO to partner with Blackbird.AI.

Blackbird.AI used its Constellation platform to identify and analyze a specific manipulated narrative attack. The solution attributed the majority of the campaign's amplification to state-affiliated networks and identified over 340 accounts driving the false story. This allowed the targeted member state to cancel a planned press conference, preventing the narrative from gaining mainstream traction. Blackbird.AI also helped reduce analyst hours spent on manual data collection by 50 percent.
