In collaboration with the US, Australia is endeavoring to fight the threat of fake news with the creation of a new cybersecurity center, according to The Lead.
The Jeff Bleich Centre for the US Alliance in Digital Technology, Security and Governance in Adelaide, Australia, is named after Jeff Bleich, special counsel to former President Barack Obama. From 2009 to 2013, Bleich served as ambassador to Australia. The ambassador will also be named a Flinders University Professorial Fellow.
South Australian researchers will work with the US to improve cyber-intelligence capabilities that will combat both the threat of deep fakes and the potential for foreign adversaries to meddle in national elections.
