  • LOTTE has chosen the Company to be one of its preferred vendor partners
  • Every year LOTTE chooses 10 of its top vendor companies to put on their preferred partners program

TORONTO, April 02, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to share that LOTTE has chosen the Company to be one of its preferred vendor partners.

Every year LOTTE chooses 10 of its top vendor companies to put on their preferred partners program. Vendors on this platform have demonstrated quality, reliability and trustworthiness. Once on this platform, a company can receive payments in full for contracts within two weeks of a purchase order. For companies that are part of the preferred vendor group, LOTTE has created a growth fund of approximately $200M USD. This fund is used to create joint venture (JV’s) companies with preferred vendors or to co-bid on contracts of significant size as a way to sponsor their preferred vendors.

In addition to creating JV’s, LOTTE also offers its preferred partners loans bearing minimal interest rates to support their growth. The current rate at approximately 3%. Datametrex is pleased to share that it is currently in the process of creating a JV with LOTTE for Government related contracts. As a direct benefit of Datametrex inclusion in this program, the Company is eligible to borrow up to $500,000 CAD per quarter.

“Being chosen to participate in the preferred vendor program with LOTTE is a validation of the quality of work our team is providing to LOTTE. It also assists greatly with cash flow and the fact that we can apply for such a low interest rate loan removes any financing risk for the Company,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.

VIDEO: #Datametrex $DM.ca #AI Hired By US Government Agencies On #COVID19 / #Coronavirus Fake News and Disinformation

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:13 PM on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020

When US Government Agencies call you in the middle of the greatest health and economic crisis in 100 years, it is safe to assume your Artificial Intelligence capabilities to detect fake news, disinformation campaigns and their impact is amongst the most respected in the world.  

You would expect such a company to be a tech giant or a Silicon Valley project.  But Datametrex AI (DM: TSXV) (Soon To Be Nexaology) is a great Canadian small cap technology company, that has also achieved the following as of late:

  • Q3 Revenues Of $1.6 million,  an increase of 186%
  • 9 Mont Revenues Of $2.56M an increase of 37%
  • Repeat Contracts Of $1M and $600,000 With Korean Giant LOTTE   
  • $954,000 Contract With Canadian Department of Defence To Fight Social Media Election Meddling
  • Participation In NATO Research Task Group On Social Media Threat Detection 
  • Becoming an affiliate member of the Carnegie Mellon University Center for IDeaS

When a small cap Artificial Intelligence company is successfully deploying its technology with military and conglomerates, smart investors have to take a closer look.  

That look can begin with our latest interview of Datametrex CEO, Marshall Gunter, who talks to us about the use of the Company’s Artificial Intelligence by US Government Agencies to detect misinformation campaigns against the United States by foreign entities.  

Watch this interview on one of your favourite screens or hit play and listen to the audio as you drive.

DATAMETREX $DM.ca IDENTIFIES CHINESE CAMPAIGNS TO MANIPULATE SOCIAL MEDIA SURROUNDING #COVID19

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:29 AM on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020
  • Work done for the United States Government clearly identifies attempts by Chinese authorities to create a divide amongst Americans on how the administration and Trump are handling #COVID19
  • Report can be viewed here: http://datametrex.com/investor/covid19-report.html

TORONTO, April 01, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to share a summary of the work done for the United States Government and a link to the report which clearly identifies attempts by Chinese authorities to create a divide amongst Americans on how the administration and Trump are handling #COVID19. This work was commissioned by an agency for the United States Government and involved collecting and analyzing a massive amount of social media data.  

Datametrex examined millions of social media documents over the last month tracking Chinese involvement in the online discussions surrounding the COVID-19 and coronavirus. Datametrex found significant attempts by both Chinese authorities and news agencies to manipulate the media and shift the blame for the COVID-19 outbreak to the United States. Additional attempts at media manipulation and narrative shaping included attempts to frame dialogue from US President Trump as racist and show the Trump administration as an impediment to the worldwide recovery from the pandemic while framing Chinese President Xi as a strong leader on the world stage.

“We are thrilled to be working with the US Government on this very serious topic, this report goes to show that social media warfare goes beyond attempts to tamper with elections as we clearly identified during the Canadian Federal Elections. The Company is open for business in the US and we look forward to working with more government agencies and corporate clients on disinformation, propaganda, fake news in social media,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company

#Covid19 fake news hacks its way onto government blockchain website – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:45 PM on Friday, March 27th, 2020

SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited (TSX-V: DM) A revenue generating small cap A.I. company that NATO and Canadian Defence are using to fight fake news & social media threats. The company announced three $1M contacts in Q3-2019. Click here for more info.

Covid-19 fake news hacks its way onto government blockchain website

By: Mariana López

  • On March 14, the government in Argentina disclosed that its system had effectively been hacked.
  • Perpetrator(s) uploaded false information regarding guidelines for public officials on handling the coronavirus (Covid-19) onto the country’s official bulletin website, which just so happens to use blockchain technology. 

As a result, officials took the site temporarily offline.

Correspondingly, another issuance will be necessary to disclaim the false statements posted on its 34,239 editions.

Have the blockchain gods forsaken the government of Buenos Aires? Not exactly. Blockchain isn’t bullet-proof.

Hacked! Why Argentina’s case is a big deal

Perhaps you’re wondering, “what’s the big deal? It’s just a bulletin.”

No, it’s not just a bulletin. 

Many countries have their own official bulletin or gazette wherein laws, notifications, or other big-deal, high-level government information is formally announced.

In Argentina, it’s known as the Boletín Oficial. Mexico’s is christiend the Diario Oficial de la Federación. In the US it’s called the Federal Register.

And the fact that something of such substantial importance in government communications was hacked is both alarming and interesting.

First off, blockchain-based systems are often hailed as more fool-proof to this type of manipulation. 

And that’s because each block within the chain is supposed to have its own unique cryptographic fingerprint and use what’s known as a “consensus protocol.” Through this protocol, the nodes on the network share and record transactional history. 

Thanks to these mechanisms, in theory, not just any outsider can show up and manipulate the data.

But with some creativity and determination, hackers can bust through blockchain’s apparently impenetrable defenses.

Secondly, everyone is well aware of how fake news can make its way onto social media. As a result, we’re consistently advised to only rely on official sources, like government websites, for more information on the pandemic. 

The hacking of a government outlet like Buenos Aires’ means that no source is 100 percent safe and fool-proof to being used as a platform to broadcast false statements.

That’s why we should make an effort to consult additional sources for more information. Especially for a topic as sensitive as healthcare.

And remember, if the government is hackable, so are you. So take the necessary precautions to protect your own data and systems.

#AI and #deepfake: #COVID19 poses new challenges for detecting deceptive tech – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:53 PM on Thursday, March 26th, 2020

AI and deepfake: COVID-19 poses new challenges for detecting deceptive tech

  • With the rise of artificial intelligence and deepfake technology, incidents of widespread fraud around the world are showing us how easy it is to manipulate people in times of crisis
  • Shows the dangerous potential technology has to expand the boundaries of art until, at least, a control mechanism can be established

by Şule Güner

With the rise of artificial intelligence and deepfake technology, incidents of widespread fraud around the world are showing us how easy it is to manipulate people in times of crisis and shows in full the dangerous potential technology has to expand the boundaries of art until, at least, a control mechanism can be established

“Have we come to a point whereby our recent technological developments have greater enabled the spread of false information?” This question has been a hot ethical topic over the last decade but unfortunately, examples are plenty enough to guarantee most would answer a resounding “yes.” At the moment, it seems we live in an age where the risk of digital manipulation is, in fact, a daily one.

News covering the coronavirus, which has since December spread from China to cover almost the entire world, is perhaps the most pertinent example. Over the period between December and January, when China was caught in the midst of an intense struggle against the outbreak, several pieces of footage circulated around the country’s social media platforms, seemingly showing people having collapsed in the middle of the street. The videos left the Chinese public quite perplexed as to their authenticity, yet no sooner had the videos been shared than they had gone viral all over the world.

Meanwhile, a few weeks ago, the world’s top political and economic elites were similarly deceived by a rather old-fashioned trick. Anthony Lasarevitsch (L) and Gilbert Chikli deceived their victims by impersonating French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian. (AFP Photo)

Deception via masks

Four years ago, French and Israeli citizens Gilbert Chikli and Anthony Lasarevitsch called a list of highly influential people, which included King Philippe of Belgium, Gabon President Ali Bongo, the CEO of Lafarge, various members of the clergy and charity bosses and tricked them by posing as French Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Yves Le Drian. The pair even managing to squeeze money out of a number of those on their hit list at meetings arranged via Skype.

The fraudsters sported a silicone mask of Le Drian and hung a picture of the former French President François Hollande up on the wall behind them, demanding money for an extraordinary and urgent situation. The duo managed to pull the trick off a number of times, making a total of 55 million euros ($59.53 million) between 2016 and 2017. After fleeing to Ukraine in 2017 before being sent back to France, they received prison terms and fines at a hearing in France in early March. However, this situation has proved that even something as cliche as a fake mask can be enough to pull the wool over some. President Nixon poses at his White House desk in this March 23, 1970 file photo. (AP Photo)

This being the case, just think what could be achieved with what is known as “deepfake technology,” which enables fraudsters to deceive hundreds or even tens of thousands of people at one time. Unfortunately, people will continue to suffer as a result of these highly potent deception tactics, at least until we manage to create new tech that can distinguish between what is real and what is fake, or related measures are taken.

While creators of deepfake videos make more and more incredibly realistic videos every day, the latest example of this was the manipulation of former U.S. President Richard Nixon’s historic moon landing speech. With AI-manipulated deepfake tech, the president, who served between 1969-1974, was made to say the moon landing mission had failed. The authenticity, life-likeness of the video, which was created by the MIT Center for Advanced Virtuality, who joined up with machine learning experts from Ukraine and Israel, deeply shocked everyone who witnessed it while also raising concerns that this technology, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, could manipulate millions.

News on the Turkish front

In partnership with the Public Health General Directorate’s (HSGM) Virology Laboratory, Bioeksen, a Turkish company within the Istanbul Technical University (Ä°TÃœ) ARI Teknokent, has announced that it has developed a pathogen kit that can detect the coronavirus in just 90 minutes. The kit has already entered mass production and is expected to strengthen the hand of health personnel in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic that continues to sweep the world.

Canan Zöhre Ketre Kolukırık, the founder of Bioeksen, said when the coronavirus outbreak first broke out, HSGM labs and Bioeksen took swift action, coordinating efforts under the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO) and developing a kit to allow for the quick detection of the coronavirus in just under two weeks. Bioeksen subsequently launched production of the kit, she added.

Stating that the group had contributed substantial amounts to the field of innovative biotechnology, Kolukırık said: “Our innovative solutions, which reduce the dayslong analysis of pathogen diagnosis to mere hours, have enabled us to progress rapidly in our sector. Bioeksen has not only remained the manufacturer of consumable products but has also become a groundbreaker for Turkey as the developer and launcher of the first 100% domestic robotic molecular analyzer.”

  • The growth of image manipulation techniques is eroding both trust and informed decision-making.
  • Although it is impossible to ID and prove fakes in real time, we can ascertain which images are truthful.
  • Software already exists that can verify images’ provenance – the next step will be hardware-based.

Today, the world captures over 1.2 trillion digital images and videos annually – a figure that increases by about 10% each year. Around 85% of those images are captured using a smartphone, a device carried by over 2.7 billion people around the world.

But as image capture rates increase, so does the rate of image manipulation. In recent years the level and speed of audio visual (AV) manipulation has surprised even the most seasoned experts. The advent of generative adversarial networks (GANs) – or ‘deepfakes’ – has captured the majority of headlines because of their ability to completely undermine any confidence in visual truth.

And even if deepfakes never proliferate in the public domain, the world has nevertheless been upended by ‘cheapfakes’ – a term that refers to more rudimentary image manipulation methods such as photoshopping, rebroadcasting, speeding and slowing video, and other relatively unsophisticated techniques. Cheapfakes have already been the main tool in the proliferation of disinformation and online fraud, which have had significant impacts on businesses and society.

The growth of image manipulation has made it more difficult to make sound decisions based on images and videos – something businesses and individuals are doing at an increasing rate. This includes personal decisions ranging from purchases on peer-to-peer marketplaces, meeting people when online dating, or voting; and business decisions, like fulfilling an insurance claim or executing a loan. Even globally important decisions are impacted, such as the international response to images and videos displaying atrocities or egregious violence in conflict zones or non-permissive areas, and much more.

Each of these very different use cases highlights two contradictory trends; we rely on images and videos more than ever before, but we trust them less than we ever have. This is a significant gap that is growing by the day and has forced government and technologists to invest in image-detection technology.

Unfortunately, there is no sustainable way to detect fake images in real time and at scale. This sobering fact will likely not change anytime soon.

There are several reasons for this. First, almost all metadata is lost, stripped or altered as an image travels through the internet. By the time that image hits a detection system, it will be impossible to reproduce lost metadata – and therefore details like the original date, time, and location of an image will likely remain unknown.

Second, almost all digital images are instantly compressed and resized once they are shared across the internet; while some manipulations are benign (such as recompression), others may be significant and intended to deceive the content consumer. In either case, the recompression and resizing of images as they are uploaded and transmitted makes it difficult, if not impossible, to detect pixel-level manipulations due to the loss of fidelity in the actual photo.

Third, when an automated or machine-learning-based detection technique is identified and democratized, bad actors will quickly identify a workaround in order to remain undetectable.

What makes detection even more difficult is social media, which disseminates content – fake or real – in seconds. Those intent on deceiving can inject fake content onto social media platforms instantly. Even successful debunking would likely be too late to stop the fake content from spreading, and cognitive dissonance and bias would more greatly influence consumers’ decisions.

So if detection will not work, how do we arm people, businesses and the international community with the tools to make better decisions? Through images’ provenance. If the world cannot prove what is fake, then it must prove what is real.

Today, technology does exist – such as Controlled Capture, software developed by my company, Truepic – that is able to both establish the provenance of images and to verify critical metadata at the point of capture. This is possible thanks to advances in smartphone tech, cellular networks, computer vision and blockchain. However, to truly restore trust in images on a global level, the use of verified imagery will need to scale beyond software to hardware.

To achieve this ambitious goal, image veracity technology will need to be embedded into the chipsets that power smartphones. Truepic is working with Qualcomm Technologies, the largest maker of smartphone chipsets, to demonstrate the viability of this approach. Once complete, this integration would allow smartphone makers to include a ‘verified’ mode to each phone’s native camera app – thus putting verified image technology into the hands of hundreds of millions of users. The end result will be cryptographically-signed images with verified provenance, empowering decision-makers to make smart choices on a personal, business or global scale. This is the future of decision-making in the era of disinformation and deepfakes.
