Do not think of Einstein, Metal Gear, Echelon, or Carnivore as separate programs. Combine the capabilities of all, and you have something as close to AI as we can possibly get at the moment that can automatically target someone based on pre-
determined criteria, interact with them as if having real conversations, and automatically update the persona to keep track of the content, context, and order of events using the capabilities of all of those programs. It also automatically builds a dossier of
the target and updates it to indicate relationships, sways in opinion, and other important details. Even the shrewdest character would have no idea that they were talking to an automated persona because the depth of conversation is so realistic. SIGINT, OSINT,
and certain aspects of MASINT are being rolled into one on this one. The system can also learn the online mannerisms and speech of a real person and mimic that person, allowing him/her to have an online presence without ever again taking an active part in the
online conversation.
