# Semantic Forensics SemaFor is a DARPA program for detecting, attributing, and characterizing falsified multimodal media by examining semantic inconsistencies in addition to statistical artifacts. ## Security role As generators improve, low-level fingerprints may become brittle. Semantic forensics asks whether identities, context, behavior, geography, physics, text, audio, and visual content remain mutually coherent. Within the article, SemaFor bridges [[Information-Environment Radar]] and [[Truth-Chain Infrastructure]] and contributes individual-message analysis to [[Modeling Influence Pathways]]. ## Boundary A forensic score is evidence with uncertainty, not an oracle. Detection, provenance, factual truth, authorship, and actor attribution are distinct claims. ## Source [[articles/Cognitive-Cyber Warfare Measures and Countermeasures#DARPA and IARPA Research Leads|Cognitive-Cyber Warfare — SemaFor]].
