Highgift AI Achieves "Awardable" Status in DARPA's Expedited Research Program

Highgift AI announced that its multimodal persuasion detection research has achieved "Awardable" status through DARPA's ERIS Marketplace.

The company's Quantum-Based Cognition framework aims to detect influence operations and reconstruct "the architecture of persuasion" to forecast campaign impacts on targeted populations.

This status allows government customers to expedite acquisition processes, bypassing lengthy traditional procurement phases — a significant milestone for a company established in early 2025.
