BCW introduces BCW Decipher, an offering it says is designed to help clients anticipate and dismantle message threats in today’s post-factual environment. The offering is part of an exclusive partnership with Limbik, an information defense technology company rooted in cognitive artificial intelligence. It works by integrating message-level believability classification and predictive virality indicators to evaluate the potential impact of different types of content across defined audience segments. “Our cognitive AI platform predicts the believability of a narrative and if it’s likely to drive action—the two most important metrics when considering impact to your business or brand,” said Limbik CEO and co-founder Zach Schwitzky. The introduction of BCW Decipher follows the February launch of BCW Navigate, an advisory service led by a multi-disciplinary team of experts who support C-suite clients on all aspects of using artificial intelligence.
