Meltwater partners with Blackbird.AI to combat narrative attacks
created by the spread of misinformation and disinformation
SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, July 22, 2024 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- Meltwater, a leading global provider of media, social,
and consumer intelligence, today announces a new strategic
partnership with Blackbird.AI, a leader in AI-driven narrative and
risk intelligence, to protect customers from misinformation and
disinformation that cause reputational and financial harm.
Together, Meltwater and Blackbird.AI will work to counter the
spread of misinformation and disinformation, which has emerged as
the most severe risk to the global economy, according to the World
Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2024. Customers can
proactively address harmful narrative attacks by combining
Meltwater’s AI-powered media and social intelligence solutions
alongside Blackbird.AI’s industry-leading narrative intelligence
platform, enabling better executive-level decision-making based on
actionable data and insights.
“Meltwater is pleased to partner with Blackbird.AI to build on
the foundation we have started in the marketplace. Together, we
offer the industry’s most comprehensive solution to combat the new
threat of narrative attacks created by misinformation and
disinformation. This will empower customers to protect their brand
reputation and reduce financial and operational risk,” said Doug
Balut, Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Partnerships
at Meltwater.
Blackbird.AI protects organizations from harmful narrative
attacks across news, social media, and the dark web by providing
real-time insights into the narratives themselves. Understanding
these previously hidden risk signals, such as underlying influences
and bot manipulation, helps customers make better strategic
decisions and safeguard brand reputation.
“Narrative attacks are a new threat vector impacting every brand
and public sector organization across the globe. Our new strategic
partnership with Meltwater enables us to substantially expand our
ability to protect more customers through our AI-driven
Constellation Narrative Intelligence Platform and recently
announced products, Narrative Feed and Compass by Blackbird.AI.
Early knowledge about emerging narrative attacks is critical to
inform key stakeholders and the executive team to reduce brand and
financial risk,” said Wasim Khaled, CEO and co-founder of
Blackbird.AI.
