An Agentic Operationalization of DISARM for FIMI Investigation on Social Media
- 构建基于智能体的框架,自动分析社交媒体数据中的操纵行为。
- 在真实数据集上发现30多个此前未被识别的俄系机器人账号。
- 适合情报分析、网络安全和防务政策制定者使用。
盟友间及作战终端用户之间的数据与情报互通,对北约在传统与混合威胁环境下的集体防御至关重要。外国信息操纵与干扰(FIMI)日益跨越多个社会领域和信息生态,加剧了威胁识别、持续态势感知和协同响应的难度。人工智能的发展进一步降低了大规模、智能化实施信息操纵的门槛,包括内容的自动化生成、个性化推送与放大传播。尽管如DISARM等框架提供了标准化的分析与元数据结构,但其在大规模自动化检测中的实际应用仍面临挑战。本文提出一种与框架无关的、基于智能体的DISARM操作化方法,用于支持社交平台上的FIMI调查。该智能体协作管道整合通用智能体组件,能够(1)在社交媒体数据中识别潜在的操纵行为;(2)通过透明可审计的推理步骤将这些行为映射到DISARM分类体系。在两个由从业者标注的真实世界数据集上的评估表明,该方法能有效扩展当前以人工为主、耗时且依赖主观判断的分析流程。值得注意的是,实验中发现了超过30个此前未被识别的俄系机器人账号,它们被用于摩尔多瓦2025年选举期间的干预活动。通过提升分析吞吐量、互操作性和可解释性,该方法为增强态势感知、跨伙伴数据融合及快速评估信息环境威胁的国防政策与规划提供了直接支持。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Interoperable data and intelligence flows among allied partners and operational end-users remain essential to NATO's collective defense across both conventional and hybrid threat environments. Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) increasingly spans multiple societal domains and information ecosystems, complicating threat characterization, persistent situational awareness, and coordinated response. Concurrent advances in AI have further lowered the barrier to conducting large-scale, AI-augmented FIMI activities -- including automated generation, personalization, and amplification of manipulative content. While frameworks such as DISARM offer a standardized analytical and metadata schema for characterizing FIMI incidents, their practical application for automating large-scale detection remains challenging. We present a framework-agnostic, agent-based operationalization of DISARM piloted to support FIMI investigation on social platforms. Our agent coordination pipeline integrates general agentic AI components that (1) identify candidate manipulative behaviors in social-media data and (2) map these behaviors to DISARM taxonomies through transparent, auditable reasoning steps. Evaluation on two practitioner-annotated, real-world datasets demonstrates that our approach can effectively scale analytic workflows that are currently manual, time-intensive, and interpretation-heavy. Notably, the experiment surfaced more than 30 previously undetected Russian bot accounts -- deployed for the 2025 election in Moldova -- during the prior non-agentic investigation. By enhancing analytic throughput, interoperability, and explainability, the proposed approach provides a direct contribution to defense policy and planning needs for improved situational awareness, cross-partner data integration, and rapid assessment of information-environment threats.
