The Iranian regime has put most of the country in an Internet blackout, which means that OSINT, to a large extent, cannot happen. So how do one use open-source intelligence to get a view into the country?

First there was manual OSINT. Then came automated OSINT. After that came Narrative Intelligence. Now comes Agentic OSINT. While generative AI is used to generate OSINT insight, agentic AI is focused on taking action automatically.

In this episode of Trident Talks, Rosie Larter sits down with Oded Breiner, Co-Founder and CTO of Brinker, to explore how AI is changing the game in disinformation, narrative intelligence and deepfake analysis.

Following the Bondi Beach attack, a false “Google search spike” narrative spread rapidly on social media, using doctored screenshots to suggest prior knowledge or orchestration by Israeli and Australian authorities. This investigation traces how the same false-flag disinformation tactic has repeatedly surfaced after major attacks, revealing a recurring hallmark of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI).

The Brinker-triad is framework designed to illuminate the complex and persistent problem of online hate, and to suggest practical ways to diffuse it.
