Surveillance
AI Social Media Monitoring
Software that collects public social media posts at scale and uses AI to search, cluster and score them for investigators and intelligence analysts.
AI social media monitoring tools gather large volumes of public posts and let analysts search them by keyword, place, name, phone number or account, with machine-learning features such as sentiment scoring and automatic alerts.
The questions they raise are about scope rather than accuracy: what counts as public, how long material is kept, whether sentiment or topic scoring drifts into monitoring people for their views, and whether local surveillance rules require the purchase to be disclosed.
Records on this tracker are listed one body at a time. Vendor claims about the number of posts analysed are recorded as claims.
