NationX Inc. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Tetsuya Aoki, hereinafter "the Company") has commenced joint research with the Information Warfare Study Group of the Center for Strategic Public Policy Studies (RAIS) (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Chairman: James Kondo, Co-Directors: Ken Jimbo, Tomoyuki Furuya, hereinafter "RAIS") of the International House of Japan, focusing on the observation and analysis of public opinion dynamics on social media and countermeasures against information warfare.

Background and Objectives of Joint Research

In recent years, public opinion manipulation and the spread of disinformation across multiple social platforms have become issues that cannot be overlooked for the health of democratic societies and Japan's security environment. To address these phenomena, both large-scale data observation and analysis capabilities, as well as academic knowledge in social sciences and security, are indispensable.

RAIS is a research institution that conducts interdisciplinary research on cutting-edge technology and security, promoting policy recommendations and social implementation. It also conducts research in the field of information warfare and cognitive security, possessing academic knowledge and a research framework in this area. On the other hand, the Company has developed and operated data collection and analysis technologies, including its proprietary SNS observation and analysis platform "CrowdQuery."

Through this joint research, RAIS will be responsible for analysis based on its academic framework and expert knowledge, while the Company will be responsible for verifying the technical foundation for observation and analysis. The aim is to establish methods for analyzing the information environment at a scale and speed that have been difficult to grasp manually until now.

Furthermore, the academic knowledge and research results generated by RAIS and the International House of Japan through this joint research will belong to RAIS and the International House of Japan.

Future Initiatives and Outlook

Both parties will continue to promote joint research aimed at advancing analytical methods through ongoing exchanges of opinions.

The Company aims to contribute to research activities with the goal that the insights gained through this joint research will contribute to the public good of maintaining a healthy information space and improving cognitive security.
