Are the "Chinese Spy Balloons" part of the same Artificial Intelligence program involved in censorship and hunting down J6 attendees?

The NSF were responsible for 26 grants and awards between January 2017 and February 2022 in only the Michigan State University Computer Science and Engineering Department.

In 2016, the NSF published “10 Big Ideas for Future NSF Investments”

Simultaneously, the NSF, NIH, Office of Naval Research (ONR), and industry partners began funding the Intelligent Data Analysis (ILLIDAN) Lab at MSU.

https://t.co/EUHQEDNooi

“Industry partners” included IBM Research, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Tencent, and Samsung. https://t.co/mjB8PoBJxm

The ”Big Ideas” were followed by “Harnessing the Big Data Revolution Big Idea” in 2017...
https://t.co/iRbIJ025wA

...which set forth research “across all directorates”

https://t.co/iRbIJ025wA

to build AI to gather data across multiple networks and process the info. https://t.co/oR0s22o3o8

The NSF funded a four-year grant, "Unsupervised Feature Selection in the Era of Big Data."

https://t.co/MXw8UMLvtO

The project was aimed at unsupervised feature selection to integrate into quite literally everything — the essence of Artificial General Intelligence.

By 2019, MSU’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering and their funding from the U.S. Government had reached stratospheric levels.

The department’s own Anil K. Jain, PhD. was being accepted into the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing at the very same time. https://t.co/arcCGb6tIh

Jain had previously spent three years on faculty at Tsinghua University in Beijing, the alma mater of Chinese President and Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, beginning in 2009.

After the inclusion of H.R. 5181 into the recurring NDAA, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, with whom many department scientists had affiliations, began lobbying J___ M_____ and the Senate to establish a formal Artificial Intelligence Advisory Committee. https://t.co/qsbhcZa4O9

12/

Weeks ahead of the implementation of fiscal year 2019’s annual NDAA, Arun Ross spoke at the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Identity and Security in Lausanne, Switzerland. https://t.co/sT7P6kXjzg

Arun Ross has spoken every year since '18 at IAPR/IEEE Winter School on Biometrics in Shenzhen, China.

After Ross’ subsequent appearances in 2019 and in 2020 at the same event, Michigan State’s Anil Jain and Xiaoming Liu also joined the roster of featured speakers with him in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

The AI Advisory Committee wasn’t legislated into existence until the 2021 NDAA when it passed under Section 5104 of the bill, well after the most consequential genomic, language, behavior, and surveillance funding had already been allocated. https://t.co/GLN7O91YBu

The infrastructure, the systems, the research, the critical development had already been completed before independent advisors were brought into the legislative and oversight conversation in 2021, aka no Congressionally-approved expert oversight or guidance.

Here is a graphic highlighting the most important of the collection of grants that the Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, and social media companies have inevitably benefitted greatly from since. https://t.co/3ItVA6AZkq

Have a look at just a few of the partnerships MSU was operating under during the time that disinformation (and artificial intelligence systems through which to deploy them) began underpinning the NDAA of 2017. https://t.co/istk6KKWY0

Pres. Trump's “Suspension of Entry as Nonimmigrants of Certain Students and Researchers From the People's Republic,” effectively banned students from institutions like Harbin Institute of Technology and Nanjing University of Science and Technology.

Michigan State’s partnerships cross with a few that the FBI featured in a bulletin themselves, just over a year before Adam Kinzinger’s H.R. 5181 was absorbed into the NDAA of 2017.

One final grant is this particular four-year grant from IARPA, landing as recently as 2022.

Were they correcting anomalies that occur over multiple 10,000's of ft. of atmosphere? Like a surveillance drone? Or a weather balloon? https://t.co/Z0QX9GHoMI

As of 2019, Michigan State, Purdue, and the University of Oregon all ran full-scale Confucius Institutes on their campuses, according to a Government Accountability Office report.

In June of 2021, the World Economic Forum began openly, publicly asking the multi-trillion dollar question that their consortium of global acolytes had been funding and answer to for at least five years already.

Just two weeks later, it was being reported of artificial intelligence’s deployment into the public space to control the flow of narratives and information. https://t.co/rrQAm2aYyM
