On 19 November 2021 from 1500 – 1800 EST we will hold the first annual Social Media Information Warfighter Exercise. The SM-IWX will demonstrate how highly refined AI systems that power programmatic advertising and global social media apps can be leveraged by adversaries employing the tactics of Irregular Warfare.
Each team of 2-3 players will have several weeks to prepare a plan to address the threat scenario. Their objective will be to deny, disrupt, or deceive the MSS’s ability to target U.S. military service members via TikTok, currently the world’s most popular social video platform. A roll of the dice will insert challenges that team members will have to adapt to and overcome. Game play will include Matrix adjudication. A panel of judges will score each team between 1-20 to determine the winning team.
We have invited the following panel of distinguished information warfare professionals to assist with judging and/or acting as advisers to the teams.
The following companies are providing financial and material support to this exercise.
