Description
The U.S. Department of State’s Embassy Beirut, Lebanon announces an open competition to implement programs that promote U.S. priorities and strengthen ties between the United States and Lebanon. The programs should include an American element and promote increased understanding of U.S. policy and perspectives. The project goals include advancing digital literacy, the use of artificial intelligence tools, and other instruments and forums to identify and counter false adversarial narratives and claims.
Some key points of this opportunity include:
• Advance digital literacy among local audiences and/or knowledge-based institutions to identify and counter false information.
• Programs that leverage artificial intelligence tools and platforms to identify, analyze, and counter false adversarial narratives that undermine Lebanon’s stability.
• Programs that promote the United States as a credible partner, and strategic enabler, in resolving conflict in Lebanon and reaching a peace agreement.
• Increased capabilities and skills among identified target audiences to recognize and counter false narratives while protecting free speech and countering censorship.
